This is a fast, easy and flavorful recipe that will make it seem as though you have been working on this all day long.

 

Lemon Baked Trout

Ingredients:

•Olive or canola oil cooking spray

•4 4-ounce trout filets,

•with skin

•Sea salt

•Freshly ground black pepper

•2 to 3 lemons

1/2 tsp of marjoram

1/2 tsp of thyme 

Directions:

Set rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Or if using a preheat gas or charcoal grill to medium-hot and prepare for cooking with indirect heat remember you are baking these not grilling them.

Lay large sheet of heavy-duty foil over large baking sheet. Coat lightly with cooking spray (our recommendation is an olive oil pump sprayer)  Arrange trout fillets on foil, skin down and spacing about 1-inch apart and leaving at least 2 inches around edges. Coat fish lightly with cooking spray. Sprinkle each filet with a pinch of salt. 5 or 6 grinds of pepper, a light sprinkling of the thyme and marjoram and the zest of 1 of the lemons.

Cut off an end of a lemon and slice into the thin slices. Using the tip of the knife, flick the seeds out of each slice. Arrange 3 to 4 lemon slices down the center of each trout filet, overlapping them slightly. Lay another sheet of foil over fish and roll edges together to seal fish.

Bake trout for 15 to 20 minutes, or until fish is opaque and flakes easily at thickest point.

This will feed 4 people.

We recommend a pine nut and arugula salad as a side and buttered, garlic and parmesan corn on the cob.

Simple but AWESOME meatballs !!!!!!! As an appetizer, on your favorite pasta dish or as the star of Swedish meatball recipe.

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl, combine the meat, garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan, parsley, salt, a couple of grinds of pepper and a splash of milk. Mix together well with clean hands. Roll into 24 1 1/2-inch balls and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Place the baking sheet with the meatballs into the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to firm them up slightly.
  2. To brown the meatballs, heat a couple of swirls of olive oil (about 2 tablespoons) in a heavy pot or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs, turning to brown all sides. They do not need to be cooked through.
  3. Add the meatballs and marinara sauce to a large pot and stir gently. Heat over medium heat until the sauce begins to bubble. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring very gently a couple of times during simmering.
  4. Serve meatballs and marinara over noodles or stuffed into rolls with melted mozzarella cheese.
