Citrus-y Sea Trout with Rice Pilaf

This meal is superb.

Do you ever see trout in the grocery store, but don’t know how to make it? Let me solve that problem for you with one of my favorite fish recipes of all time: baked sea trout with oranges. It’s so good, you guys!

Sea trout is divine— it’s similar to salmon, but it has an even milder, sweeter taste. I always get this kind from Aldi:

Make sure to check the expiration date!

Plan to make this recipe the day or two after getting groceries so the fish will still be fresh— otherwise, stash it in the freezer and pull it back out when you’re ready.

And now, back to the trout.

It’s not a tricky recipe AT ALL. Prep includes minimal slicing, sprinkling of salt… and a little stirring of the pilaf, but then you just leave it to bake/simmer and walk away.

You just layer everything in a pan, cover and bake while the pilaf is pilaf-ing.

This recipe wows you with its simplicity. The mild sweetness of the trout pairs perfectly with the airy rice pilaf and zucchini— all 3 have gentle flavors that meld perfectly together for a light but filling meal.
