Trout

Okay, I don't really like fish, but my husband and daughter #2 do so when a friend called me up and asked if I wanted some I said sure thinking I would surprise my husband.  Surprise him (and the kids) I did.  I didn't know how to cook the fish, so this is what she told me to do.

Trout (these were gutted and everything for me, so make sure they are open on the bottom)
Lemon cut into wedges
Onion sliced

1.  Line baking sheet with foil and preheat oven to 350
2. Stuff trout with lemon wedges and onion.  You can also sprinkle some garlic salt inside if you don't mind touching the fish.
3. Bake at 350 until skin peels easily away and the flesh is flaky.  These were fairly large fish so I cooked them for about 30 minutes.

Verdict:  My daughter was so thrilled that I cooked fish and she ate quite a bit.  My youngest put it in her mouth and then spit it back out.  I did eat some and decided that it wasn't that bad, but still not a texture I really cared for.  My husband liked it, though and he was very glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone to fix something for him that he knew I wouldn't normally fix for myself.
