About this recipe

This dish reminds me of my childhood, when my grandfather, a passionate fisherman, regularly brought home fresh trout. My grandmother then prepared them in various ways, but the steamed version with dill potatoes was always my favorite. The simplicity of the recipe and the fresh flavors of the ingredients make it a timeless classic. The trout itself is the star of the dish. Its delicate, almost sweetish flesh harmonizes perfectly with the spicy fish stock and the fresh dill. The potatoes, preferably waxy varieties, form a filling base and wonderfully absorb the aroma of the dill. The lemon provides a pleasant acidity that balances the dish and gives it a certain freshness. The soup vegetables and spices in the stock give the fish a deep, complex flavor. When preparing it in the Thermomix®, it is important to add the ingredients in the correct order. Chopping the soup vegetables and onions in the first step ensures an even distribution of the aromas in the stock. Be sure to strain the stock after cooking to obtain a clear, fine broth. When cooking the potatoes in the simmering basket, it is important that they are completely covered with water to ensure even cooking. The cooking time of the trout depends on its size. It is cooked when the flesh comes away from the bones easily. For a vegetarian version, the trout can be replaced with tofu or halloumi. Vegetable broth can be used instead of fish stock. If you like it a little spicier, you can add a pinch of chili flakes to the stock. Instead of dill, other herbs such as parsley or chives can also be used. Serve the steamed trout with the dill potatoes and some lemon wedges. A fresh green salad goes perfectly with it. A dry white wine, such as a Riesling or a Pinot Gris, rounds off the dish perfectly. The sauce can be prepared well in advance and stored in the refrigerator. However, the trout should be freshly prepared, as it will otherwise lose its flavor. The potatoes can also be pre-cooked and mixed with the dill shortly before serving. So nothing stands in the way of a relaxed dinner.
