Trout Rillette
Ingredients
- 1 trout filet
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Pinch black pepper
- 2 slices bacon
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped dill
- ½ lemon zest
- 250 mL mason jar
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F.
- Place the trout filet on a parchment lined baking sheet and season it with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 10 minutes and remove from the oven.
- While the trout is baking, thinly slice the bacon and place it in a small frying pan over medium heat.
- Cook until the bacon is browned and crispy then remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
- While the bacon is cooling, gently break apart the trout filet with a fork, scraping the meat off the skin and place the chunks of trout meat into the mason jar.
- At this point you can save the skin and crisp it up in a pan with a bit of oil over low heat or simply discard.
- Add the parsley, dill, and lemon zest to the bacon and mix.
- Pour the bacon mixture, including the fat, over the trout in the mason jar.
- Cover and let cool overnight.
- Serve with bread and the crispy trout skin.
