Trout - king fish, whether it is so or not, depends on how much the trout you choose corresponds to its high status. Trout is freshwater, rainbow, brook and sea. Brook and was a royal dish. The largest size that it reaches is half a meter, no more. However, rainbow trout is usually sold in stores, it grows very quickly, and therefore it is preferred on fish breeding farms. Here lies the catch: for quick weight gain, rainbow trout feeds on farms mix growth hormones, dyes and antibiotics. The meat of such a fish will be much brighter than natural. It is not worth it to abuse trout grown on a farm, especially since the dye used by fish producers, canthaxanthin, is prohibited in the countries of the European Union, but for some reason it is allowed in Russia.
Visual inspection of the fish is also very important. Quality trout should have bulging, clear eyes, shiny scales. Mucus and whitish spots indicate that the fish is far from fresh. Also, it should not be covered with excess mucus, this, by the way, applies to all fish, and not just trout.
Be especially careful when buying trout fillets, many manufacturers inject acids to dissolve bones, as well as polyphosphates to increase weight. Such a fillet gives a meat color bright to unnatural, bloated and fibrous. No, even the best recipe for trout cooking in the oven will help to make the dish tasty if the fish is of poor quality.
We assume that these tips have helped you, and you have chosen high-quality trout without harmful additives. We proceed directly to cooking. The recipe for trout in the oven advises us to thoroughly rinse, clean and gut it. If the trout is large, then it is cut into pieces, and if you bought ready-made trout steaks - even better. Then we just make two out of one steak, as they are too thick for our dish.
We rub the pieces with fish spices and salt, put in a suitable dish and leave for an hour, so that the fish is well soaked and gained aroma. Cut the carrots into strips, and onions into rings, first lay the carrots and then the onions, place the fish on top, squeeze the lemon onto it, pour over white wine and vegetable oil. Close the mold with a piece of foil and put in a preheated oven. The recipe for trout in the oven prescribes to keep the temperature at T = 180 C and the baking time is 40 minutes. Trout in the oven with vegetables goes especially well. We put trout, baked carrots and onions on the dish. Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley and dill on top.
If the trout is small, then it is baked whole. The recipe for trout in the oven is almost the same for both sliced and whole fish, but there are some nuances.
We clean the fish, wash, we take out the insides and gills. Cut the lemon into slices, mix a little juice with a spoon of vegetable oil and coat the trout with the mixture. We spread the fish on the foil and rub it with salt and black pepper. We put lemon slices inside the fish. Now we wrap the foil around the trout and put it on a baking sheet in an oven preheated to T = 180 ° C. How much to bake trout in the oven depends on its size and weight. Time varies from 30 to 40 minutes. Before the end of cooking, the foil must be opened and the fish allowed to brown. When the fish is ready, put it on a dish, pepper, garnish with greens and lemon slices.
There is another fairly original way to cook trout in the oven. Everything happens the same until the trout is laid in the oven. Pour salt on a sheet of foil, put the fish and cover it completely with salt. Wet with water and put in the oven. Bake until cooked at T = 180 ° C.
