Cajun Trout Fillets

Here’s a quick recipe for those who don’t like any fishiness in their seafood. The sweet, delicate taste of trout is complemented well by Cajun spice for a healthy, flavourful entrée. Enjoy it with a sliced tomato salad and a fresh baguette with butter.

Ingredients

4 (6-ounce) farm-raised rainbow trout fillets (1/2-inch thick)
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning*
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 green onion, chopped
Lemon wedges

Method

Preheat broiler. Pat fillets dry and lightly brush both sides with oil. Sprinkle both sides evenly with Cajun seasoning. Place skin side down on broiler rack. Broil 4-6 inches from heat for 4-5 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Arrange on a warmed serving platter and sprinkle with parsley and chopped green onion. Serve with lemon wedges.

* To make your own Cajun seasoning combine 1 tablespoon paprika, 2 teaspoons sea salt, 1½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of cayenne pepper with 1 teaspoon each dried oregano, chili powder and dry mustard.
