We used fresh herbs from our garden, lemon thyme, oregano and chives. You can use any fresh herbs of choice like dill, parsley, basil, marjoram all work well here. In addition, feel free to exchange with 1 teaspoon dried herbs like an Italian blend works well.
• Place one fillet of rainbow trout in the middle of each aluminum foil pieces with the skin side down.

WHOLE RAINBOW TROUT BAKED IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut four sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil or eight sheets of lighter foil into squares that are three inches longer than your fish. If using lighter foil, make four double-thick squares. Oil the dull side of the foil with olive oil, and place a trout, skin side down, on each square. Season both sides with salt and pepper, and open them out flat. Place two tarragon or dill sprigs (or one rosemary sprig) and two lemon slices down the middle of each, and fold the two sides together. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over each fish.
• Making sure that the trout are in the middle of each square, fold up the foil loosely, grabbing at the edges and crimping together tightly to make a packet. Place on a baking sheet, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, checking one of the packets after 10 minutes. The flesh should be opaque and pull apart easily when tested with a fork.
• Place each packet on a plate. Carefully cut across the top to open it, taking care not to let the steam from inside the packet burn you. Gently remove the fish from the packet, and pour the juices over it. Sprinkle with fresh tarragon, dill or parsley. Serve, passing the lemon wedges.

RAINBOW TROUT WITH JASMINE RICE AND CITRUS VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Season trout fillets lightly with salt and pepper on both meat and skin sides. Lightly dust fillets with flour and shake off excess. In a non-stick skillet large enough to hold all 4 fish, heat the oil and butter over high heat until almost smoking. (You may need to work in batches or use 2 skillets if you don't have one that is large enough). Carefully place the trout, meat side down, in the skillet and saute for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully turn the fish over with tongs and finish cooking on the skin side, about 2 more minutes. With tongs, remove the trout from the skillet and serve immediately with the rice and vinaigrette.
• Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan. Add enough salt and pepper to make the water taste slightly salty. Cover and bring to a boil. When the water level drops below the rice, reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Simmer for about 8 minutes and turn off the heat. Leave covered and let stand for about 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and serve hot with the trout.
• Add vinegar, citrus juice, shallots, and mustard to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds. Slowly add oil while machine is running until emulsified; the vinaigrette should be thick. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add more citrus juice, to taste, if desired. Drizzle over trout. Toss with steamed fresh seasonal vegetables, if desired.
