BACON WRAPPED TROUT
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the inside and outside of the trout with salt and pepper. Combine 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, the herbs, capers, garlic, lemon juice and some salt and pepper in a small bowl and divide this mixture between the two trout. Fold the trout back onto themselves, lay 2 lemon slices on top of each fish, and then wrap each trout with 2 slices of bacon holding the lemons in place.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and coat lightly with the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Place the trout, lemon-side up, in the pan and cook for 3 minutes, then place in the oven. Roast, flipping halfway through roasting to ensure the bacon is crisp, for 20 to 25 minutes.
BACON-WRAPPED TROUT STUFFED WITH BALSAMIC ONION COMPOTE IN ROSEMARY CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan boil vinegar, water, onions, sugar, and 2 teaspoons chopped rosemary, stirring occasionally, 7 minutes, or until onions are slightly softened. Remove pan from heat and let stand 15 minutes. In a coarse sieve set over another saucepan drain onions, reserving cooking liquid. Transfer onion compote to a bowl and cool.
- Boil reserved cooking liquid with remaining 2 teaspoons chopped rosemary until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Add broth and boil liquid until reduced to about 1 1/2 cups. Stir in cream and boil sauce until reduced to about 2 cups. Reserve sauce in pan.
- Preheat oven to 450°F. and lightly oil a large shallow baking pan.
- Rinse trout under cold water and pat dry inside and out. Fill cavity of each trout with onion compote and season with salt and pepper. Wrap 4 slices bacon around middle of each trout, overlapping them slightly and leaving head and tail exposed.
- In a 12-inch heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown trout, 2 at a time, until bacon is completely browned, about 5 minutes, pouring off excess fat between batches and transferring trout as browned with a long spatula to oiled pan. Top each trout with 2 rosemary sprigs and bake in middle of oven 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Pour off remaining fat from skillet and deglaze skillet with reserved sauce over moderate heat, scraping up any brown bits. Strain sauce through a fine sieve into saucepan. Season sauce with salt and pepper and keep warm.
- Divide sauce among 6 plates and top with trout.
BAKED TROUT WITH BACON
Another I found while 'net scrounging, and I like it. I think this was listed as a Russian fav. I obviously have no idea if it is or not. I don't get to make it but about once a year, because, well, I gotta catch my trout first and since there are no trout streams where I live, (Nor even close by) I have to go get 'em. (Fishing at the supermarket is no fun) So it's something kinda rewarding after I've made a large (to me) trip to catch 'em. And lemme tell ya, those trout don't come easy to me, fly rods mess me the heck up. A shame I'd get dirty looks from purists if I attempted to use a casting rod. LOL

Steps:
- Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Crumble bacon. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons drippings from skillet. Add 1 tablespoon butter and stir to melt. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Coat flesh side of fish with flour; shake off excess. Add fish, flesh side down, to skillet. Cook 2 minutes. Turn fish over. Cook until just opaque in center, about 2 minutes. Transfer fish to 2 plates. Pour off drippings from skillet; wipe skillet clean. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in same skillet over medium heat. Add all but 2 tablespoons onions; sauté 3 minutes. Stir in bacon, lemon juice, capers, and tarragon. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over fish. Sprinkle fish with 2 tablespoons green onions.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality trout fillets. Fresh trout will have a firm texture and a mild, slightly fishy smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong odor.
- Soak the trout fillets in a brine solution before cooking. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful. To make a brine solution, dissolve 1/2 cup of salt and 1/4 cup of sugar in 1 gallon of cold water.
- Wrap the trout fillets in bacon before cooking. This will help to keep the fish moist and add flavor. Use a thick-cut bacon for the best results.
- Season the trout fillets with rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rosemary is a classic herb that pairs well with trout. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Cook the trout fillets over medium heat until the bacon is crispy and the fish is cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork when it is done.
- Serve the trout fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad are all great options.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped trout is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The trout is cooked to perfection, and the bacon adds a crispy, flavorful coating. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
