1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 tablespoon sliced green onion
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

BAKED FRESH RAINBOW TROUT



Baked Fresh Rainbow Trout image

Very easy and tasty recipe I invented one day with ingredients on hand, for fresh rainbow trout (farmed or wild) that my family loves. It takes very little time and is much lighter than ocean fish. I use whole fish you can buy already gutted from the supermarket, with heads and tails still on. Make sure you pick trout that are really, really fresh. I find the dish doesn't even need lemon slices but you can use them if you like. The key is to remember to add the water to the dish as instructed in directions, which keeps fish from drying out. Serve with rice and veggies. Light and delicious. Be careful of bones! Make sure to add hot water to the dish; cold water can crack the baking dish.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest speckled trout: Look for fish with bright, clear eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, briny scent.
  • Properly clean and prepare the fish: Remove the scales, fins, and entrails. Rinse the fish thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Generously season the fish: Use a combination of Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to coat the fish inside and out. This will enhance the flavor and create a crispy crust.
  • Use high-quality butter: Unsalted butter is the best choice for this recipe, as it allows you to control the amount of salt in the dish.
  • Cook the fish at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and prevent the fish from becoming dry.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fish: Speckled trout is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Baked cajun speckled trout is best enjoyed hot out of the oven. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Baked cajun speckled trout is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy skin, tender flesh, and flavorful Cajun seasoning, this dish is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this recipe a try!
