Stuffed Trout In Paper Recipe
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Step 2: Lightly salt flesh of fish; set aside.
Step 3: In large skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until just beginning to brown. Add celery, onion and fennel. Cook until they are just turning translucent, about 2 minutes. Add scallops, garlic and white wine. Cook until scallops just turn opaque.
Step 4: Turn heat to low. Add spinach. Stir until wilted. Turn off heat. Add bread cubes, cream, walnuts, herbs, salt and pepper. Stir and allow to stand 2 or 3 minutes to allow bread to absorb liquids.
Step 5: Meanwhile, place each trout opened, flesh-side up on a 13″ x 17″ piece of parchment paper. Press 1/4 of stuffing mixture onto one fillet. Pat top fillet back into place over stuffing. Stuffing will poke out. Repeat for each fish. Sprinkle about 1 tbsp of wine over each fish. Fold edges of parchment paper to form tightly sealed packets.
Step 6: Place packets on baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes on middle rack of oven. Serve immediately.
