Rainbow Trout

Tim and I tried a new recipe last night....and it turned out pretty good! We had never tried rainbow trout before, and I had never prepared it before, so we googled some recipes and I settled on this one:

BROILED RAINBOW TROUT WITH HERB MAYONNAISE

6 tbsp. reg. or light mayonnaise 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tbsp. lemon juice Herbs to taste Dash of pepper 4 Clear Springs Brand Idaho Rainbow Trout fillets (4 oz. each) Combine mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, herbs and pepper in bowl; mix well. Cover flesh side of each trout fillet with 1/4 of mayonnaise mixture. Broil 4 inches from heat source for about 3 to 5 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork and topping is bubbly.

It turned out pretty good. I used lime juice instead of lemon because we were out of lemon, I added basil, oregano and thyme for the "herbs" and we just used good old Costco Rainbow trout fillets (which are HUGE by the way, and really reasonable - about 12$ for 4 LARGE fillets that would have easily fed 5 or 6). Tim and I tried this recipe on two of the fillets, and we're trying another recipe tomorrow....either way, it was good. Try it out and let me know what you thought and what modifications were good.

Just to give you an idea of how big the fillets were, this plate has ~10 inch diameter and the fish is folded over! That's ALOT of fish. :P (for interest, we had it with home fries and beans!)
