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

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh trout fillets. If using frozen fillets, thaw them completely before cooking.
- To make sure the trout is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check for doneness by gently flaking the fish with a fork. If the fish flakes easily, it is cooked through.
- The balsamic onion compote can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- The rosemary cream sauce can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To save time, you can use store-bought puff pastry instead of making your own.
