Season the trout with salt and pepper. Place it in the sous vide bag.
Add the melted butter to the bag.
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.
Cook the trout for 7 minutes.
In a skillet with olive oil, sauté the baby potatoes (previously blanched and halved) with salt and pepper for 7 minutes.
Sauté the button mushrooms (halved) in butter until golden. Once cooked, season with salt.
Heat the heavy cream and cook the morel mushrooms (previously hydrated in tea) in the cream. Season with salt.
Serve the trout fillets alongside the baby potatoes, button mushrooms, and morel mushrooms with cream.
Garnish with parsley leaves.
Ensure the sous vide water temperature is consistent at 55°C for even cooking.
Blanch the baby potatoes beforehand to reduce cooking time in the skillet.
Hydrate the morel mushrooms in tea for at least 15 minutes to enhance their flavor.
Use fresh parsley for garnishing to add a vibrant touch to the dish.
Pair this dish with a fine white wine to complement the flavors.
Can I use a different type of fish?
Yes, you can substitute trout with salmon or another firm fish, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
What can I use if I don’t have a sous vide machine?
You can poach the trout in a pot of water at a controlled low temperature, but the texture may differ slightly.
How do I blanch the baby potatoes?
Boil the potatoes in salted water for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender, then drain and cool before sautéing.
Can I use dried morel mushrooms?
Yes, dried morel mushrooms work well. Just ensure they are properly hydrated in tea or warm water before cooking.
What is the best way to serve this dish?
Serve the trout with the garnishes on a large plate and decorate with fresh parsley or edible flowers for an elegant presentation.
