How to make Trout with potatoes and mushrooms

Prepare the Trout

  1. Step 1

    Season the trout with salt and pepper. Place it in the sous vide bag.

  2. Step 2

    Add the melted butter to the bag.

  3. Step 3

    Begin submerging the open bag into water heated to 55°C. As the bag is submerged, the air will escape. Once the bag is fully submerged, seal it and cover.

  1. Step 1

    In a skillet with olive oil, sauté the baby potatoes (previously blanched and halved) with salt and pepper for 7 minutes.

Prepare the Mushrooms

  1. Step 1

    Sauté the button mushrooms (halved) in butter until golden. Once cooked, season with salt.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the heavy cream and cook the morel mushrooms (previously hydrated in tea) in the cream. Season with salt.

Assemble the Dish

    Serve the trout fillets alongside the baby potatoes, button mushrooms, and morel mushrooms with cream.
