St. Nicholas - Broiled Rainbow Trout













Yesterday we celebrated my husband Nick's "Name Day." He is European and in Europe they celebrate "Name Days," they are just as significant as a birthday! Since it's typical to celebrate with fish, I made this fabulous rainbow trout that turned out so perfectly, it will definitely be a new staple in my cooking repertoire.


Ingredients:
- 2 rainbow trout, skin on, de-boned
- olive oil
- oregano
- paprika
- salt
- pepper
- 1/2 onion, diced
- frozen peas and carrots, 1/2 cup
- 1 can, black beans, drained
- crushed red pepper flakes

To Make:
Set your oven to broil (High.
Coat the bottom of a large baking dish with olive oil and place the fish fillets, skin down in the pan. Flip them once over to get olive oil on both sides and return to their original position.

Season lightly with oregano, paprika and salt and pepper.

Next, top the middle of each with my Ultimate Sauce recipe, found HERE. Or you can use this "leftover sauce" recipe which is a lot simpler and faster to make.

Broil in the oven on high for 5 minutes.

Next, drizzle olive oil into a medium sauce pan and saute the diced onion for 5 minutes on medium heat. Next, add in the peas and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes.

Lastly, add in the can of black beans and 1/2 cup water. Mix together. Add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes and season with more salt and pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika for added flavor. Cook this on medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

To Plate:
Take a scoop of the black bean mixture and place in the center of the place, drizzle some red sauce down the middle and place the trout on top.

SERVE WHILE HOT!
