Trout
filets
Cooking method: When frying
trout, cook skin side down so it becomes crispy. The crisp skin
will protect the delicate flesh. Then turn and cook on the flesh
side for a few minutes. Once the fish is cooked, you can easily
remove the skin.
In parchment paper, place the fish flesh side down on the vegetables so it absorbs their wonderful aromatic flavours.
Whole trout
Cooking method: Make
several incisions on both sides of the thickest part of the fish so

F) oven. Calculate 12-14 minutes per 2.5 cm (1 in.)
thickness.
