Cooking Trout?

[michaelkim9582]

just caught some trout and I am tired of some old way I cook it. any suggestions? How do you cook your trout?

I love trout in a taco. I like my trout taco best with shredded cabbage mixed with mayo & a little chopped chipolte pepper in adobo sauce (comes in a can).
Another way I like trout is to cook it in a little white wine, butter, & dill. At the end squeeze some lemon juice on it.
It is also great grilled, sprinkled with Cajun seasoning.

Two ways, dredged in seasoned flour and fried in 1/2 butter and 1/2 margarine (butter will burn by itself). Seasoning - whatever you have handy lemon pepper, garlic salt, Lowery's seasoning salt, cajun's choice - whatever.

Second is to brine them in salt, brown sugar, Cayenne, ginger, white pepper and smoke them on the Traeger - yum!

Just to add to the excellent suggestions already made...is to fillet and barbecue them. This is delicious with either trout or Kokanee. Fillet them, leaving the skin on one side and making sure the rib bones are all removed. Brush the fillets with either melted butter, margarine, or olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with your favorite seasoning. Lemon pepper, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper (to taste) is really good. The kokes on the pic were done over the campfire coals at Crescent Lake. It's best to do the skin side first, flipping them over when the skin gets crisp and bubbles up. Flip over and cook until the meat flakes with a fork. They only take a few minutes because you don't want them to overcook. Of course they're great on the grill at home too, but there's nothing quite like fresh caught fish cooked in camp!

My favorite is to place a bit of butter and some lemon & lime slices between the filets and grill on the gas bbq until the skin is crispy. Wash it down with a cold beer and some grilled corn on the cob. A wonderful outdoor meal.

Cheers!
