Steelhead Trout & Creamy Romesco
with Roasted Vegetables & Brown Butter-Saffron Rice
45 MIN

From the Test Kitchen
WHY WE LOVE THIS DISH
We’re highlighting some bold, beloved flavors of Spanish cuisine, like the blend of paprika, cumin, and more that coats our trout fillets, the smoky romesco sauce spooned on top, and the aromatic saffron-infused rice served alongside.
INGREDIENT IN FOCUS
Saffron is a premium spice originating from the saffron crocus flower. While typically expensive, just a small pinch is needed to lend its brilliant color and fragrant aroma, which is enhanced by boiling in hot water along with the rice.

instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut out and discard the core of the cauliflower; cut into small florets. Pit and roughly chop the olives. Pit and roughly chop the dates. Slice the chives into 1/2-inch pieces. In a bowl, combine the romesco sauce and crème fraîche. Cut off and discard the stem of the poblano pepper. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then large dice. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling.
2
Roast & finish the vegetables
Line a sheet pan with foil. Place the cauliflower florets and diced poblano pepper on the foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer. Roast 22 to 24 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Transfer to a large bowl; add the chopped olives, chopped dates, sweety drop peppers, vinegar, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine.
3
Cook the rice
Meanwhile, carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a small pot, combine the rice, saffron, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.
4
Cook the fish
Meanwhile, pat the fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Season only on the skinless side with enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned fish, skin side down. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until the skin is browned and crispy. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.* Transfer to two serving plates. Rinse and wipe out the pan.
*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish.
5
Make the brown butter & serve your dish
In the same pan, heat the butter on medium-high until melted. Once melted, cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the foam subsides and the butter is fragrant (it should smell nutty and toasted). Turn off the heat. Transfer to the pot of cooked rice; stir to combine. Serve the cooked fish with the finished rice and finished vegetables. Top the fish with the creamy romesco. Garnish with the sliced chives and almonds. Enjoy!
