Ingredients
  • 1½ lb trout fillets
  • olive oil
  • sesame oil
  • Kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 4-6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
  • 3-4 large turnips, cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 large bunch swiss chard, stems and leaves chopped
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 250.
  2. Place trout fillets, skin side down, on baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil, sesame oil, Kosher salt, and black pepper. Throw garlic cloves on top. Bake for 30 minutes, until cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add turnips and 1 cup water, then cover with lid and braise for 15 minutes, checking occasionally. Remove lid and let liquid evaporate completely, letting turnips brown. Turn off heat, and drizzle with ½ the lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. In a separate pan, heat 1 more tablespoon olive oil. Cook swiss chard until leaves are wilted and stems have softened, about 7 minutes. Drizzle with remaining lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Once trout is done, serve it on top of the braised turnips and swiss chard.
