Baked Trout and Sweet Potatoes: Cooking with Crypticat

Hi Everyone,

Today on Cooking with Crypticat we are going to go over the preparation of baked Rainbow Trout and Sweet Potatoes. We eat baked salmon or trout about once a week, mixing up the sides. If you can afford it, it's strongly recommend to eat wild salmon or trout.

Baked Rainbow Trout, sweet potatoes, steamed vegetables and pickles

Ingredients:

• Salmon or Trout Fillets

• Oil

• Salt

• Lemon

• Dill

• Black Pepper

• Sweet Potatoes

• You can add fish seasoning or other spices too, use Canola/vegetable oil because the high cooking temperature isn't good for the chemical properties of olive oil.

Directions

Sweet Potatoes
1 - Preheat the oven to 425F (220C)
2 - Peel and Cube the Sweet Potaotes
3 - Mix the sweet potatoes in a bag or bowl, adding some oil, salt, pepper, and any other spices/herbs you think may work like rosemary, tarragon, ginger, garlic powder, etc.
4 - Spread over baking sheet and put in oven for 40-45 minutes making sure you flip them once or twice.

Fish
1 - While the potatoes are roasting you can prepare the fish, first oil the bottom of a glass pan
2 - Put the fillets in the pan, get oil on both sides of the fillets and then if there is skin ensure it's on the bottom
3 - Add salt, pepper, dill, any other seasoning and some lemon juice. Pat it into the flesh.
4 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillet at 425F

Cooking is about efficiency, that's why when you bake fish, you may as well bake something else with it. I usually bake sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, onions, carrots and other roots. Vegetables take longer to bake than fish, so you can stagger the preparation and baking. This meal is very healthy and relatively simple to make, if you want to save even more time, just boil a bag of frozen vegetables, rice or heat up something up from a can that goes with fish. You can also make a salad in the time it takes the fish to bake.
