Something fishy

Well not really if you cook it well

For the past year or so I have developed a real hunger for trout. I get Steelhead Trout from Misfits Organic Delivery Service. I talk about it often in office so I decided at the request of many to write up my recipe.

Let’s start with the trout. Make sure you keep it cold til the day you cook it. Then let it come to room temperature before cooking.

The next step is to punch small fork holes, if that is a real phrase, into the trout followed by brushing on some cooking oil. I use a combination of sesame, ginger and garlic olive oil.

Next step is to add some garlic salt and dill.

Next step is to heat your pan, I prefer Lodge Cast Iron and add some extra virgin olive oil. When hot add the trout meat side down for about 2-3 minutes.

Then flip again so skin side is down.

Cook for another 2-3 minutes and then add a tab of butter and put into an oven preheated to 325-350 degrees F.

Using a quick thermometer, check every few minutes until the trout at its thickest part in center is around 135-140 degrees. Remove trout to rest on a plate.

Then add some heavy cream to the pan and lightly heat to reduce and thicken slightly. You can add more dill, salt or any spice you like here to the cream sauce. Then add it on top of the fish.

Then put the dish on your table, have a seat, and dig in and let me know if it is as delicious as it looks. I make this dish just about weekly as it is on my normal weekly grocery list from Misfits Organic Delivery Service.

Besides really enjoying the trout this way, it is also fish which is one way to increase in our diet our anti-inflammatory Omega-3 fish oils. Since on the topic of fish oils and Omega 3’s, beginning sometime early in 2023 the Institute for Medical Wellness (IMW) will be offering the OmegaQuant Omega 3 Index Test to help guide you better on achieving a healthy Omega and Inflammatory balance.
