Ingredients
4 tsp safflower oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 small carrot, finely chopped
1 cup button mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1 cup vegetable broth
2/3 cup prune juice
1/2 cup pitted prunes, coarsely chopped
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp tomato paste
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves, or 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
4 fresh skin-on rainbow trout fillets, about 250g each
1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
Position oven rack in top third of oven. Preheat oven to 450F. Heat a pasta pot over medium. Add 2 tsp oil, then onion, carrot and mushrooms. Cook until onion starts to turn dark golden, 5 min. Add broth, juice, prunes, vinegar, tomato paste, garlic and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Gently boil, uncovered, about 10 min, until thickened. Press sauce through a fine sieve into a small bowl. Season with salt and a pinch of pepper.
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment or foil. Arrange fish in one layer, skin-side down, on parchment. Brush with remaining 2 tsp oil. Roast in top third of oven until a knife tip inserted into the thickest part of fish and held for 10 sec comes out warm, about 7 to 8 min. Remove fish to plates and serve with prune sauce and Roasted Cauliflower “Rice.”
