POACHED TROUT
Whole fish (such as this butterflied trout or pink-fleshed arctic char) are as easy to poach as fillets. This recipe works with almost any variety. Serve chilled over greens with horseradish for lunch. For dinner, serve warm with pureed vegetables on the side.

RAINBOW TROUT BAKED IN FOIL WITH TOMATOES, GARLIC AND THYME
My friend Christine always makes salmon prepared this way when I arrive at her home in Provence after my long trip from California. It's a great dish to make when you don't know exactly when guests are going to arrive, as everything can be prepared in advance and the fish can be baked at the last minute. I've adapted Christine's salmon recipe to rainbow trout, which are farmed in a sustainable way and less expensive than wild salmon.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut 4 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, or 8 sheets of lighter foil, into squares that are 3 inches longer than your fish. If using lighter foil, make 4 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.
- In a bowl combine the tomatoes, garlic, 1 teaspoon olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spoon over the middle of each trout. Place 1 or 2 sprigs of thyme on top, and fold the two sides of the trout together. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over each fish.
- Making sure that the trout are in the middle of each square, fold the foil up loosely, grab at the edges and crimp 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. Sprinkle with parsley or thyme and serve, passing the lemon wedges.

BAKED FRESH RAINBOW TROUT
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.

RAINBOW TROUT POACHED IN COCONUT MILK
This is a South East Asian inspired dish. You can use other types of fish besides trout but I think it works best this way. I've used cod before for this. The flavours merge wonderfully in the coconut milk... Very nice with sticky rice.

CAMBODIAN-STYLE FISH POACHED IN COCONUT MILK
This recipe was featured in our local paper and is a Kylie Kwong and from her cookbook It Tastes Better and her intro to the recipe was "I love this recipe because it is quick and simple to make, yet so exotic in flavour. The galangal, turmeric and kaffir lime leaves add that gorgeous earthy, aromatic flavour so particular to South-East Asian cuisine, and the taste and texture of fish cooked gently in coconut milk are sublime. If you like, you can substitute the fish with any other seafood, or even chicken."

Tips:
- Select the freshest trout possible: Fresh trout will have bright, clear eyes, red gills, and a firm, springy body.
- Use full-fat coconut milk: Full-fat coconut milk will give the poaching liquid a rich, creamy flavor.
- Add aromatics to the poaching liquid: Aromatics such as ginger, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves will add flavor to the trout.
- Poach the trout gently: Do not boil the poaching liquid, as this will toughen the trout.
- Serve the trout immediately: Trout is best served immediately after it is poached.
Conclusion:
Poaching trout in coconut milk is a simple and delicious way to cook this fish. The coconut milk infuses the trout with a rich, creamy flavor, while the aromatics add a touch of complexity. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
