Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons minced walnut pieces
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
ΒΌ cup chopped watercress leaves
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 teaspoons soy sauce
4 whole trout

Steps:

  • At home: Mix cracker crumbs, walnuts, and dill in a resealable plastic bag. Store oil, watercress, water onion, parsley, and soy sauce in individual bags and containers and combine them in a larger, self-sealing plastic bag labeled with recipe instructions.
  • On the trail: Place onion in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Cook and stir over low to medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add parsley and water. Cover and steam for a minute or so; stir in the watercress.
  • Combine the cracker-walnut mixture with the onion-parsley mixture in a medium bowl to make the stuffing. Stir in soy sauce.
  • Stuff each trout with 1/4 of the walnut-herb stuffing. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add trout to skillet, cover, and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes per side.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The trout was a bit overcooked, and the stuffing was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I'll try a different type of fish next time.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The trout was cooked well, but the stuffing was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to simpler trout recipes in the future.

I wasn't a fan of the walnut-herb stuffing. It was too overpowering for the delicate flavor of the trout.

The trout was a bit dry, but the stuffing was delicious. I think I'll try cooking the trout in a little more butter next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the trout turned out great! I used fresh herbs from my garden, and they really made the dish.

I've made this trout recipe several times now, and it's always a hit. The stuffing is so simple to make, and it really elevates the flavor of the fish. I like to serve it with a lemon-butter sauce.

This trout recipe was a delightful surprise! The walnut-herb stuffing was aromatic and flavorful, and the trout itself cooked up moist and flaky. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and a glass of white wine, and it was an absolutely perfec
