Cooking a Rainbow trout.

[hyster]

I've a rainbow trout in the fridge for tomorrows tea, uncle handed it in.

The wife is not too fond of the taste of trout, any recipe ideas to mask the taste a bit or make it more interesting?

Its too nice to waste and I really can't be bothered cooking two meals to keep her happy.

Nothing too spicy please, she's a fussy bugger.

Just cook it in a bit of oil and teriyaki sauce, put it over some short grain white rice. Extremely simple and very yummy.

Tell her she can have a taste of her own medicine for once, like it or lump it

Give her fish fingers.

By far the best way to cook trout is to grill it and serve with a bit of lemon juice and some buttered crusty bread. If you smother the flavour you might as well just serve fish fingers.

wrap bacon around it and put mushrooms, garlic and onions all around it with a load of butter then wrap in tinfoil and put in oven

+1 (- bacon)

I've cooked them from fresh on the barbecue - yum!

 

[JBuk]

if she doesnt like trout then dont serve her it, its pointless to try and mask the flavours

just cook something else for her, beans and toast maybe?

I remember my mum cooking a rainbow trout that I caught fishing when I was about 14 - all I remember is that it had loads of bones in! Damn those fish for having a skeletal structure

I keep it whole, and wrap in foil with some Lemon Juice and a slug or two of olive oil and a generous portion of fennel.

Then bake it at something like 160c.

Agree just in foil....

If you get used to taking the bones out of trout they can come out in one go like in the cartoons. Although they sometimes just all fall to bits.

Sounds quite a fishy woman to me...

If you want to mask the taste, then I hesitantly suggest using it to make Oriental food.

Stick it in tinfoil with white wine and rosemary, oven cook it until cooked tender all the way through.

Fillet, season with salt and pepper... pan fry... then serve with hollandaise sauce, new potatoes and asparagus.

Use a tea towel or strong kitchen towel to pat the fish down and get rid of the slime after filletting/before seasoning.

Way my dad uses to cook it is in wet newspaper, cook until dry and it has the benefit of also removing the skin when the paper is removed.

Only way to make that better is serve with some Sprouting broccoli goes awesomely well with teriyaki sauce.

The last one i got was a whole trout, but gutted, i simply put some butter + dill inside it, placed it in tinfoil and added some yellow tomatos chopped up, pineapple chunks, mushrooms, layed some pancheta across it, and some jalapenos as well as some small asparagus.

Wrapped it up and put it in the oven on a high temperature and kept checking it every 10 mins or so, i think it was about 25 mins i ended up leaving it in for, and at that all the bones came out really easily, i chopped the head and tail off and it was just beautiful

Agreed, though personally I like a lemon mayonaise.
