Trout festival
Whole, cold smoked, hot smoked or ready-to-cook,
trout is one of the most versatile fish in the kitchen.In this booklet, Metro offers you several ideas to bring out the wonderful flavours of this fragrant fish.
Use a paper towel to pat the trout dry and remove as much
moisture as possible in order to avoid boiling the fish.
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.
For cooking en papillote, place the fish flesh side down on the
vegetables so it absorbs their wonderful aromatic flavours.
Whole trout
Cooking method: Make a
few incisions on both sides of the thickest part of the fish
so it cooks evenly. Stuff or cook it as is in a preheated
190°C (375°F) oven. Calculate 12-14 minutes per 2.5 cm (1
in.) thickness. Serve on preheated plates because fish has a
tendency to cool quickly.

be used in many dishes such as frittatas, sandwiches, on pasta or
pizza, in avocado and citrus salads, in cones or wraps with pears
or star fruit, or in crepes.
