WHOLE RAINBOW TROUT BAKED IN FOIL



Whole Rainbow Trout Baked in Foil image

It's easy to find farmed rainbow trout these days. They're usually boned and "butterflied" - opened up, with the halves still attached. I bake them in foil packets and moisten them with the savory juice that accumulates inside as they bake.

Time 15m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 7

Extra virgin olive oil
4 small rainbow trout, boned
Salt
freshly ground pepper
2 lemons, one sliced, one cut in wedges
8 fresh tarragon or dill sprigs, or 4 rosemary sprigs
Chopped fresh tarragon, dill or parsley for serving

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.

Provided by CP Camper

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 17m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 whole trout
3 lemon slices (thin slices)
1/4 teaspoon dill
1 sprig rosemary
olive oil
kosher salt
12 inches square aluminum foil
1 ounce dry white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Drizzle Foil with oil and sprinkle with Kosher Salt.
  • Place fish on center of foil and sprinkle with Dill.
  • Place lemon slices inside fish and rosemary on top. Salt to taste.
  • Fold up edges of foil and add wine. Seal foil pouch and place in oven on 350 for 12 minutes.

Tips:

  • To ensure the trout is cooked evenly, make sure the fillets are of uniform thickness. If they are not, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • For a crispy skin, pat the trout fillets dry before roasting them. This will help the skin to brown and crisp up in the oven.
  • Don't overcrowd the roasting pan. If the fillets are too close together, they will steam rather than roast.
  • Use a high-quality olive oil for the best flavor. Extra virgin olive oil is a good choice.
  • Fresh herbs, such as dill and parsley, add a lot of flavor to the trout. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use only half the amount.
  • Be careful not to overcook the trout. It is a delicate fish, and it will become dry and tough if it is cooked for too long.
  • Serve the trout immediately with roasted vegetables or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Roasted rainbow trout with dill and lemon is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is a relatively easy dish to prepare, and it is sure to impress your guests.
