Ingredients

Directions

  1. Season the steelhead trout fillets generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
  3. Sear the trout fillets skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until just opaque.
  4. Remove the fish from the skillet and keep warm on a serving platter.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the remaining butter.
  6. Add the sliced shallots and cook until softened and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle the flour over the shallots and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  8. Gradually whisk in the white wine, water, and milk, ensuring no lumps form.
  9. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  10. Stir in the Hollandaise sauce and crushed peppercorns, mixing until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  12. Spoon the warm Bonne Femme sauce over the seared trout fillets before serving.
