Sourdough-stuffed Trout
The tangy crunch of sourdough stuffing, flecked with morsels of green pepper and green onion, transforms these baked trout into an exciting entree.

• 1 small loaf sourdough or crusty Italian bread
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion (including some tops)
• 1 medium-size green pepper, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons dry white wine
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
• 6 Lake Trout Fillet
• Salt and pepper
  

Preheat oven to 400°. Cut enough bread into V2-inch cubes to make 2 cups (reserve remainder for other uses). Spread bread cubes in single layer on baking sheet and bake, stirring occasionally, until cubes are dry and crisp (about 10 minutes). Remove from oven and pour into a bowl; combine with parsley, the 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, green onion, and green pepper. Drizzle wine and 2 tablespoons of the butter over bread; mix lightly. Wipe fish with damp cloth, inside cavities and outside. Brush cavities with some of the remaining butter; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Stuff cavities loosely with bread mixture, dividing mix. If you are using Lake Trout and the stuffing is cold, it will take 35 - 40 minutes to bale. If you are using small Rainbow or Brook trout, it will take 10 - 12 minutes less.

Simple Grilled Trout Recipe

Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best. Grilling fresh Trout is an excellent method of cooking. Grilling Trout outdoors on a barbecue grill gives a slight smoky taste to the Trout.

To start, select fresh filets of Trout with the skin removed. Cut the filets into 4 inch pieces. Start the grill and get the coals white hot. Coat the Trout pieces lightly with olive oil, this will help prevent sticking to the grill. Place the Trout on the grill and cook for 5 minutes with the skin side down. Then carefully turn the Trout to the other side for 4 minutes. Do not turn the Trout filet more than once or it might start to crumble. The filet should flake easily when done. Remove and serve.

Trout & Mushrooms in Cream
Whole trout and a quantity of small mushrooms sauté to buttery tenderness; cream-enriched pan drippings make the satiny sauce for an appealingly simple dish.

• 1/3 cup butter or margarine
• 1/2 pound small whole mushrooms (or large mushrooms, sliced)
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
• 4 Lake Trout Fillet (each about 1/2 lb.)
• all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/3 cup whipping cream
  

In a wide frying pan, melt butter over medium-high heat; add mushrooms and sauté, stirring frequently, until golden brown (about 5 minutes). Stir in parsley, then remove pan from heat and lift mushrooms from pan with slotted spoon. Arrange evenly to cover bottom of a large warm serving platter; keep warm. Set pan aside. Wipe fish with damp cloth, inside cavities and outside. Coat fish with flour; shake off excess. Arrange in single layer on wax paper within reaching distance of range. Return pan to medium heat; add salt to remaining butter. Place in pan as many fish as will fit without crowding. Cook, turning once, until fish is lightly browned and flakes readily when prodded in thickest portion with a fork. For a 1-inch-thick fish (measured in thickest portion), allow 10 minutes total—5 minutes on each side. (Allow same ratio of thickness to time—1 inch:10 minutes—for fish of all thicknesses.) When fish is done, remove from pan and arrange on top of mushrooms; keep warm. Repeat process with remaining fish. After removing last fish, add lemon juice and cream to pan; bring to a boil, stirring and scraping to blend with pan drippings. Spoon immediately over fish and mushrooms, and serve. Makes 4 servings.
