directions

  • Heat the grill, (or use a grill pan) on high while you prepare the sturgeon.
  • Remove the skin from the sturgeon and place in a large stainless steel bowl.
  • Add the olive oil, garlic, course black pepper and salt.
  • Mix the seasonings into the fish to coat.
  • Prepare the mushroom sauce by heating a large sauté pan on high.
  • Add the olive oil and add the sliced mushrooms and shallots just as the oil begins to smoke.
  • Sauté the mushrooms and shallots for about 1 minute and add the whole butter followed by the fresh thyme and salt and pepper.
  • Place the sturgeon on the grill and reduce the heat to a medium setting.
  • Close the grill and leave the fish as is for 2 minutes.
  • While the fish is cooking add both the stock and white wine to the mushroom mixture and continue to cook to reduce the liquid.
  • Reduce by almost half.
  • Flip the fish after two minutes of cooking and cook another minute or until the fish reaches an internal cooking temperature of 145 degrees.
  • Remove the grilled fish and plate, top with the mushroom and shallot mixture and enjoy.

  1. I was given sturgeon fillets and didn’t know what to do with them. This recipe turned out wonderfully. I could not find all the listed mushrooms, so used button and mini portobello mushrooms. Otherwise I followed the recipe as written. Easy and so delicious!
     
  2. This recipe was easy to follow with easily obtained ingredients. I substituted onions for shallots with good results. Also, I broiled the fish with the skin on. Once the fish is cooked the skin is very easy to remove. To cut the skin off prior to cooking you will need a very sharp fillet knife and will still invariably loose some meat in the process. I omitted the butter as one of my guests was lactose intolerant. The recipe is forgiving and it turned out great nonetheless. <br/>Thanks for posting this one!<br/>Cheers
     
  3. I made this for a group of people - it was my first time to cook sturgeon. I haven't had a group of people rave about my cooking like that in forever!! Everyone loved it! Just now giving the recipe to a friend who is making it for her family this weekend! A keeper!
     
  4. This was fantastic! My hubby said it was one of his favorite meals ever. I'm still a fledling chef, so the sauce ended up being reduced to pretty much sauteed mushrooms, but the flavor was excellent. I'm going to try the recipe on all sorts of meats.
     
  5. Easy to prepare. Beautiful on the plate. Served to rave reviews. We plan to serve at our next dinner party.
