Why Rainbow Trout?
Rainbow trout is a beautiful, mild, delicate fish. Sizzlefish rainbow trout is raised on an old-fashioned family farm, in a pristine setting high in the Colombian Andes. Rainbow Trout is known for being deliciously tender and flaky with a light, perfectly savory texture. In this recipe, we lean into that savory flavor of the trout with a homemade spinach pesto.
Ingredients
- 3 Rainbow Trout fillets, thawed
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1 tbsp. pine nuts
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- salt to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a glass baking dish and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, make the pesto by blending the spinach, pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and salt. Blend until smooth.
Place the trout filets on the baking dish and spread 1/3 of the pesto over each filet.
Bake at 350 F 20 minutes or until tender.
Serve over fresh greens or with a side of greens.
