Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh trout fillets
- 250 ml dry white wine
- 250 ml water
- 2 medium-sized (finely chopped) shallots
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 pieces black peppercorns
- 2 pieces egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 200 ml sunflower oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh chives
Instructions
In a large shallow pan, combine the white wine, water, chopped shallots, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and peppercorns to create a poaching liquid.
Bring the poaching liquid to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Carefully place the trout fillets into the pan, ensuring they are fully submerged in the poaching liquid. Reduce the heat to low and poach the trout for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through and opaque.
Using a slotted spoon, gently remove the trout fillets from the liquid and set them aside on a warm plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
For the Maconnaise sauce, whisk together the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and white wine vinegar in a mixing bowl until smooth.
Gradually add the sunflower oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly to emulsify and create a creamy consistency.
Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, and chopped chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the warm poached trout fillets on individual plates and spoon the Maconnaise sauce generously over the top.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
