Cooking BlogWhole trout, steaks and fillets can be oven-baked in a greased dish or wrapped in individual foil parcels and baked in a medium oven. In each case, top with a knob of butter and moisten with a little fruit juice, wine or cider. Allow 20/30 mins for portion-size trout and steaks
Use whole or boned trout, steaks or fillets. Dust with seasoned flour and fry in a little oil or butter for 5 minutes each side. Serve simply with a squeeze of lemon, herb butter or mayonnaise.
When cooking whole trout, slash thickest part 3 times on each side and brush lightly with oil. Alternatively, brush steaks with oil on both sides. Lay in pan and grill 5/8 minutes each side depending on thickness. Serve with a squeeze of lemon.
Trout cooks perfectly in a microwave oven, either fresh or frozen. As cooking
times vary for each make of microwave, refer to the instruction manual for
cooking trout. As a general rule, trout take from 4/6 mins cooking time when
simply prepared, stuffed trout take a little longer. Slash thickest part several times on each side of whole trout for even cooking.
Use whole trout or steaks and enough boiling, lighted salted water to cover.
Poach gently for 10/12 minutes and drain. Serve hot and cold with butter sauce or mayonnaise. Steam steaks or fillets after seasoning lightly, using a steamer or by placing between two plates over boiling water.
