This was okay, but a little bland. I think I would add a little Cajun spice or something like that. My husband ate a trout and a half so I'll give it four stars.

I thought that this dish was fairly tasty but a little too much work. My skills as a cook are not terribly sophisticated and this preparation took a long time and was very messy. The accompanying spinach recipe was delicious.

I love trout and this was sooo good! Although, after cooking them, I felt it needed additional salt, I sprinkled on just a little, low sodium season salt (trying not to raise the sodium too much) it was perfect. My fillets were more that 6 ounces, which is why they probably warranted more salt. The fish went well with the delicous creamed spinach. I didn't do the snap peas, but opted for orzo pasta in a tomatoe, garlic & oregano mixture instead.
