Trout with apples
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius. In a small bowl, mix onion, thyme, and breadcrumbs; season with salt and pepper. Add oil and stir to combine. Place the apples cut-side up in a single layer in a baking dish. Sprinkle with sugar and the breadcrumb mixture. Pour 1/4 cup of apple cider around the apples. Cover with a lid and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue baking for 20 minutes, until the apples are tender. Remove from the oven. Season the trout on both sides with salt and pepper. Grease a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of oil. Place the trout on the baking sheet and drizzle with the remaining oil. Bake for 6 minutes, until golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk together the remaining 3/4 cup of cider, mustard, and capers. Simmer over medium heat until the liquid reduces, for 5 to 7 minutes. You should have about 8 tablespoons of sauce. Place the trout on plates, drizzle with the sauce, and arrange the apple halves alongside. Garnish with thyme and serve. The finished dish is ready to be served.
