  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 large fresh poblano chile, stemmed, seeded, diced (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup chopped white onion
2 medium tomatillos, husked, rinsed, diced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint plus small sprigs (for garnish)
1 tablespoon (or more) fresh lime juice plus lime wedges (for garnish)
2 whole 12-ounce trout, boned, butterflied, halved lengthwise

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add pumpkin seeds. Stir until beginning to pop, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chile, onion, and tomatillos. Cover and cook until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

    Step 2

    Scrape mixture into processor; cool. Blend 1 minute. Blend in chopped mint and 1 tablespoon lime juice, adding more lime juice to taste (sauce will be very thick and not smooth). Season with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle trout with salt and pepper. Add to skillet, flesh side down. Cook until just opaque in center, about 2 minutes per side.

    Step 4

    Spoon pián over fish. Garnish with mint sprigs and lime wedges.
