Directions
Trout Preparation
Cut each filet into 4 equal pieces. Coat fish in panko. Sauté skin side down in brown butter until skin is crisp. Turn off heat, flip fish over, the heat from the pan will cook the fish through. Be careful not to overcook.
Trout Sauce Preparation
Chop veggies and combine all ingredients except last four. Sauté until soft. Add water, simmer about 20 minutes. Transfer to blender. Blend until smooth. With blender running, add 1 tablespoon of the butter, honey and lemon juice until completely incorporated.
Caponata Preparation
Grill zucchini, red peppers, Poblano peppers until they blister. Dice small. Grill tomatoes, then roughly chop. Combine all ingredients with a light toss. Set aside.
Barley Preparation
Sauté onion until translucent. Add barley and slightly toast. Add ½ the chicken stock, reduce until almost dry, stirring constantly. Keep adding liquid until barley is soft and resembles risotto. Set aside.
To Assemble
Cook barley with the ½ cup dark beer for 5 minutes than add the 3 tablespoons of butter and heat through. Heat up caponata and saute trout.
Plating (per serving)
Put sauce down first then spoon barley, layer one piece of trout, top with Caponata, layer next piece of trout, top with Caponata, layer final piece of trout, top with dollop grilled spinach.
