Ingredients
- 10 mL (2 tsp) Dijon mustard
- 30 mL (2 tbsp) maple syrup
- 2 mL (½ tsp) Worcestershire sauce
- 15 mL (1 tbsp) olive oil
- 5 mL (1 tsp) garlic powder
- 2 mL (½ tsp) dried thyme
- 4 fresh trout fillets (about 680 g/1 ½ lb)
- 3 potatoes, cut into thin wedges
- 500 mL (2 cups) broccoli florets
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
Cranberry relish:
- 250 mL (1 cup) low bush cranberries
- 125 mL (½ cup) water
- 15 mL (1 tbsp) white vinegar
- 1 mL (¼ tsp) ground sage
- 125 mL (½ cup) raisins, chopped
Directions
- In a large bowl or shallow dish, whisk together mustard, maple syrup and Worcestershire sauce to make marinade. Add fish fillets and stir to coat evenly. Marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together oil, garlic powder, and thyme. Add potatoes, broccoli, onion, and bell pepper. Stir to coat.
- Spread vegetable mixture on a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping vegetables halfway through cooking.
- In a medium-sized pot, heat cranberries, water, vinegar and sage. Simmer mixture for 10 minutes. Add raisins and cook for 5 more minutes. Mash lightly with a potato masher or fork. Remove from heat.
- Heat a lightly-oiled cast iron pan on low heat for 10 minutes. Raise heat to medium-high. Brown fish skin-side down for 4 minutes or until crispy. Turn fish over and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, depending on thickness. Use a digital food thermometer to check that fish has reached an internal temperature of 70 °C (158 °F).
- Garnish fish with relish and serve with baked vegetables. Salt and pepper to taste.
Tips
- You can use red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar.
- Store leftover fish for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
- Remember, a little salt goes a long way. Taste the food before adding any salt.
