- The last time we had some fresh trout I baked it with basil and onions
- and everyone loved it. We didn't filet the trout, so it was baked whole,
- but I imagine you could use the recipe for the filets.
-
- red onion - sliced very thin
- fresh basil leaves
- salt and pepper
- garlic-almond butter
-
- Soak the trout in salt water for 15 minutes. Rinse well and scrape the
- skin lightly. Rinse again. Salt and pepper the cavity. Thinly slice
- the onion and place several slices inside the cavity. Clean the basil
- and coarsly chop. Place the basil in the cavity also. Use about 4-5
- very large leaves. Place the trout in a baking pan with just a small
- amount of water. Cover will foil and bake at 350 degrees. These were
- extremely large trout that my brother had caught. They were over a pound
- each and about 18" long. I baked them for about 25 minutes. During the
- last 10 minutes of baking time I spread the garlic-almond butter on top,
- recoved with the foil and baked for 5 minutes more. The last five
- minutes I removed the foil.
-
- Garlic-almond butter
-
- 1 cup slivered almonds
- 2-3 cloves garlic
- 1 stick butter or margerine
- juice of one lemon
-
- Puree the garlic and butter together in the processor then put in a heavy
- skillet on medium high heat. When the butter begins to sizzle add the
- slivered almonds and toast until just beginning to turn golden. Remove
- >from the heat and add the lemon and mix well.
-
- I would think that you could salt and pepper the filets, lay them in a
- baking dish, then cover with basil then onions and the foil. The filets
- would not take nearly so long to bake--maybe 15 minutes with the last few
- minutes baking uncovered and with the garlic-almond butter on. Fresh
- water trout is done when it flakes easily apart. But, as with all fish,
- it doesn't take very long to cook.
-
- Enjoy.
