Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced yellow bell pepper and asparagus to the skillet, cooking until they begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Season the rainbow trout fillets with salt, pepper, and paprika. Place them skin-side down in the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables.
  5. Pour the vegetable stock into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 25 minutes.
  6. While the trout is braising, bring 2 liters of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  7. Once the trout is done, remove from the oven. Gently transfer the fillets to a plate and keep warm.
  8. In the same skillet, toss the cooked pasta with the braised vegetables and the cooking liquid, letting everything combine and warm through.
  9. Serve the pasta topped with the braised trout fillets, garnishing with additional paprika if desired.
