Risted Laks Med Kremsaus

Posting for ZWT6 (Scandinavia/Norway)

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  trout (fresh or frozen-about 1/2 lb ea, cleaned-but with head & tail left)
•  salt
• 1⁄2 cup flour
• 4  tablespoons butter
• 2  tablespoons  vegetable oil
• 1  cup sour cream
• 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1  tablespoon parsley (fresh chopped)

Directions

1. If you are using frozen trout, defrost them completely before cooking. Wash fish under cold running water, pat dry inside and out and sprinkle a little salt into the cavities.
2. Spread the 1/2 cup flour over wax paper, roll the fish around in the flour and shake off any excess.
3. In a heavy 10-12″ skillet, heat 2 tb butter and 2 tb oil. When foam subsides, lower heat to moderate and fry the trout, 2 at a time, for about 5 minutes on each side, turning them carefully with a large spatula.
4. When all the trout have been browned, keep them warm on a heatproof platter in a 200 degree F oven while you quickly make the sauce.
5. Pour off all the fat from the skillet and replace it with 2 tablespoons fresh butter.
6. Stir over low heat, scraping up the brown pan drippings with a wooden spoon. Add the sour cream and continue stirring for about 3 minutes without letting the cream boil.
7. Stir in the lemon juice and pour the sauce over the hot fish.
8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve at once.
