Rainbow Trout Sicilian Style


Roasting is just the easiest way to cook, you spend about 15 minutes preparing, then chuck it in the oven and walk away while the house fills with delicious aromas!

Here's something I quickly whipped up last night. I had stocked up on fish recently at the local fish marked in Marrickville. Grabbed some amazing looking local ocean rainbow trout.

I had never cooked it before, so I decided to keep it simple, knowing its a rich fleshy fish. So I just seared it in a pan with salt and pepper on both sides and then added a glass of white wine. Put a lid on it for a bit, then chucked it in the oven to slowly roast away. Served it with some roasted egglant with diced tomato, garlic, basil and pine-nuts. (Should've added anchovy) Had crunch cos and rocket salad on the side. Felt pretty posh on these big plates, but the fish just wouldn't fit on out other ones. This was way too easy and the kind of thing you would get charged a mozza for in restaurants.
