Baked Fresh Rainbow Trout

Baked Fresh Rainbow Trout

This rainbow trout recipe is very easy and tasty. One day, I came up with this recipe with the ingredients I had on hand, and my family loved it. It works with farmed or wild trout, takes very little time, and tastes lighter than ocean fish. I buy whole, gutted fish with heads and tails still on from the supermarket; make sure to choose very fresh trout. The key is to add water to the dish as instructed in the directions, which keeps the fish from drying out; add hot water as cold water can crack the baking dish. Serve with rice and veggies. It’s light and delicious, but be careful of bones!

Tips

The dish will be more flavorful if you use mixed peppercorns instead of only black ones.
