Ingredients
4 fillets trout
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon tahini
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon apple sauce
3 broccoli stalks, peeled and julienned (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 bulb fennel, thinly sliced
1 carrot, peeled and julienned
1/2 tart apple, peeled, cored, and julienned
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- Bake the Trout: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the trout fillets on a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Top each fillet with lemon slices and shallots. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the trout is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Prepare the Slaw: In a large bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon zest, lemon juice, and apple sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss the Vegetables: Add the julienned broccoli stalks, fennel, carrot, apple, and parsley to the bowl. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well-coated with the dressing.
- Serve: Plate the baked trout alongside the fresh slaw for a balanced, flavorful meal.
