Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry produce. Halve potatoes lengthwise. Strip rosemary leaves from stems; finely chop leaves until you have 1 tsp (2 tsp for 4). Trim green beans if necessary. Quarter lemon. In a small bowl, combine mustard and mayonnaise. Reserve 2 tsp (4 tsp for 4) for Step 3; transfer remainder to a separate small bowl and set aside for serving.
- Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, chopped rosemary, half the Fry Seasoning (you’ll use the rest in next step), salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, spread out across entire sheet.) Roast on top rack for 10 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).
- Meanwhile, place 1 TBSP plain butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a third small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, 30 seconds. Stir in panko and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pat trout dry with paper towels; season all over with remaining Fry Seasoning, salt and pepper. Drizzle skin sides with oil; rub to coat. Evenly spread flesh sides with reserved Dijon mayo; mound with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
- Once potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully add trout, skin sides down, to opposite side of sheet. (For 4 servings, transfer sheet with potatoes to middle rack; place trout on a second baking sheet and roast on top rack.) Return sheet to top rack and roast until potatoes are tender and trout is cooked through, 10-12 minutes.
- Place green beans in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; microwave for 1 minute. Meanwhile, heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Add almonds; toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Add garlic herb butter and ½ cup water (¾ cup for 4 servings) to pan; bring to a simmer. Add green beans; toss to coat in sauce. Continue cooking until sauce has thickened and is smooth, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4). Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide trout, potatoes and green beans between plates. Serve with remaining Dijon mayo and any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy panko, press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the trout.
If you don’t have Fry Seasoning, substitute with a mix of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
Green beans can be blanched in boiling water for 1 minute instead of microwaving.
FAQ
Can I use salmon instead of steelhead trout?
Yes, salmon works well as a substitute. Adjust cooking time as needed based on thickness.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Use dairy-free butter and omit the garlic herb butter or substitute with a dairy-free alternative. The Dijon mayo is already dairy-free.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
