周末晚餐集(6):烤鳟鱼,奶香玉米糊, parmesan 芝士土豆, 麦片圣诞果酱夹心饼干
Trout is delicate fish in my opinion. It is cold water fish. It has tender texture and mild flavor. Especially good when bake with herbs or grill with lemon & garlic.
在我看来，鳟鱼是很特别的冷水鱼。鱼肉细腻滑嫩，鱼腥味很小。鱼刺不多也不少。配柠檬大蒜和烹调香料，很适合烤箱烘烤或者明火烧烤。

Baked trout with lemon and herbs:
Fresh water rainbow trout
1 lemon
few springs Rosemary
few springs thyme
few springs oregano
2 clove garlic (cut into slivers)
coarse Sea salt
Fresh grounded pepper
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp butter
柠檬香料烤鳟鱼
鳟鱼2条
柠檬一只
新鲜的rosemary，thyme，和oregano各几束（只）
大蒜 ２瓣（切成小条状)
粒状海盐少许
黑胡椒
橄榄油２大勺
奶油 １大勺
Seasoning the fish inside and out with coarse sea salt and fresh grounded pepper for 10 minutes. In a baking dish, bush some olive oil all over the baking dish. Lay the fish. Put few springs of rosemary, thyme, oregano, piece of lemon inside the fish. Arrange the rest of herbs in the pan around the fish. Sprinkle some rosemary, sliver of garlic and slice of lemon on the fish. Add more salt and pepper if it is needed. Squeeze lemon juice and drizzle the olive oil over the fish. ( I had to cover the fish head with piece of lemon so that the poor fish wouldn't look at me.)
鳟鱼洗静，里外擦上粒状海盐和黑胡椒，淹１０分钟。烤盘刷上橄榄油，放上鳟鱼。鱼肚中放上几束新鲜的rosemary，thyme，和oregano。（可用干的香料带替）柠檬切３－４片也放在鳟鱼鱼肚中。将剩余的新鲜香料摆在烤盘中，柠檬切片放在鳟鱼上。撒上大蒜。如果有需要，再加些粒状海盐和黑胡椒调味。剩余的柠檬挤出柠檬汁. 剩余的橄榄油撒在鳟鱼上。（我不得不用柠檬把鱼头盖住，这样一来，可怜的鳟鱼就不会瞪着我了。。。）
Preheat the oven at 425F. Cube the butter on top of fish and bake for 20 minutes. You know it is done when you smell the lemony rosemary in your kitchen.
烤箱欲热４２５F。奶油切小块放在鱼上，进烤箱烤２０分钟。如果你的厨房散发出柠檬和香料味，你就知道鱼烤好了。
Side dish 1: Creamy corn
Canned sweet corn (I have used my homemade canned sweet corn)
1 tsp butter
1/4 cup chopped onion
Whole milk
Sea salt and fresh grounded pepper
配菜１：奶香玉米糊
罐装玉米罐头（我用的是我自己家做的）
奶油 １小勺
１／４杯切碎的洋葱
全脂牛奶
粒状海盐,黑胡椒少许
Melt butter in a heavy pan. Sautee onion at medium heat until soft. Add sweet corn and sautee for another 3 minutes. Take half of corn in a food processer or blender with a little whole milk. Process the mixture until smooth. (Take only a minute or two) Return the creamy corn back to the pan. Season with sea salt and fresh grounded pepper.
厚底锅，奶油化开，用中火把洋葱炒软。加入玉米炒３分钟。取出一半的玉米加些全脂牛奶在粉碎机中打碎直到糊状。再倒回厚底锅中。加入粒状海盐黑胡椒少许调好味就做成了
Side dish 2: Baked parmesan potatoes
You might want to bake your side dish since you are running the oven. :-)
3 to 4 large potatoes
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (fresh grounded is the best)
1 spring rosemary
2 tbsp Olive oil
Coarse sea salt and fresh grounded pepper
Peel the potatoes and cut into cubes. In a large bowl, combine potatoes with parmesan cheese, rosemary and olive oil together. Season with sea salt and pepper. Mix well. In a lined baking sheet, bake them in a preheated oven at 425F for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
This potato dish has crispy texture outside and cheesy taste. It is easy, simple and delicious. You will love it.
配菜２：Parmesan 芝士土豆
反正烤箱在工作，为什么不充分发挥它的作用呢！
３－４个大土豆
１／４杯 parmesan 芝士
新鲜的rosemary 1束
橄榄油２大勺
粒状海盐和黑胡椒少许
土豆去皮，切块。取一只大容器，将土豆，parmesan 芝士，rosemary, 橄榄油混合均匀。加入粒状海盐黑胡椒少许调好味。烤盘放好烤盘纸，在４２５F的烤箱中烤２０分钟或者到金黄。
这到土豆餐外脆内软芝士味浓。简单易做，你一定喜欢
Here is my dinner plate. Dinner is completed with a glass of white wine.
这是我的盘中餐。配上一杯白葡萄酒，晚餐齐备了。
Dessert: Oatmeal Christmas Jam cookie bar
I make Christmas Jam every year in the fall when all the fruits are available. And give them as gift for Christmas. It has chunky fruits like peach, plum, apple, pear, cherry, etc.. I guess people name it as Christmas jam is because it has different colors in the jam. I learn it from my mother-in-law. It store well and can be used for dessert for all purposes. This cookie bar is one of the examples.
甜点：麦片圣诞果酱夹心饼干
每年秋天，水果成熟季节，我做很多圣诞果酱。圣诞节时送给亲戚朋友们共同分享。果酱中有桃子，李子，苹果，梨，樱桃等。这是我跟我的mother－in－law学的。我想大家称它为圣诞果酱是因为它色彩丰富。果酱储藏很久，用途广泛。这个夹心饼干就是其中的一个例子。
1 jar Christmas jam
1 cup old fashion Oatmeal
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cold butter
Pinch of salt
Combine flour and oatmeal. Cut butter into the flour mixture until coarse texture. Take half of the mixture and press down in a square baking pan. See pictures below. Pour Christmas Jam on the top level it. Top with the rest of flour mixture.
圣诞果酱一罐（８oz）
麦片 １ 杯 （不是速溶麦片）
面粉 １杯
奶油 半杯
盐少许
麦片和面粉混合均匀，切入奶油直到混合物变成颗粒状。取一半混合物，在方型的烤盘中铺平，用手压平。看下图。倒入圣诞果酱并铺平。将剩余的麦片和面粉混合物撒在上面。看下图。
Bake it in preheated oven at 375F for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool it on the rack. Remove from baking pan and cut into squares.
烤箱欲热３７５F，烤至表面金黄，大约２０分钟左右。在架子上放凉，倒出盘，切块。看下图。
You might want to try it, too. It is simple and delicious.
你不妨试试，简单又美味。
