Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons minced walnut pieces
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
ΒΌ cup chopped watercress leaves
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 teaspoons soy sauce
4 whole trout

Steps:

  • At home: Mix cracker crumbs, walnuts, and dill in a resealable plastic bag. Store oil, watercress, water onion, parsley, and soy sauce in individual bags and containers and combine them in a larger, self-sealing plastic bag labeled with recipe instructions.
  • On the trail: Place onion in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Cook and stir over low to medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add parsley and water. Cover and steam for a minute or so; stir in the watercress.
  • Combine the cracker-walnut mixture with the onion-parsley mixture in a medium bowl to make the stuffing. Stir in soy sauce.
  • Stuff each trout with 1/4 of the walnut-herb stuffing. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add trout to skillet, cover, and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes per side.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover trout. I made it with some trout that I had leftover from a fishing trip and it was delicious.

I'm not a fan of walnuts, so I substituted pecans in the stuffing. It turned out great! The trout was cooked perfectly and the stuffing was flavorful and moist.

I'm not a big fan of trout, but this recipe changed my mind. The walnut-herb stuffing is what really makes this dish. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The trout was dry and the stuffing was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The trout was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the stuffing was still very good. I'll try cooking the trout for a shorter amount of time next time.

I substituted almonds for the walnuts in the stuffing and it was still delicious. This recipe is very versatile and can be easily adapted to your own preferences.
