How to Salt-Bake Whole Rainbow Trout

Start by cleaning and drying the whole rainbow trout, then stuff the cavity with herbs and lemon slices for added flavor. Create a thick layer of salt on a baking tray, place the fish on top, and cover it completely with more salt. Bake in a preheated oven until the salt crust hardens and the fish is cooked through.

Extracting the Fillets

Once the salt-baked rainbow trout is cooked, carefully crack open the salt crust and remove the fish. Gently peel away the skin and carefully extract the fillets, being sure to remove any bones. The flesh should be tender and moist, perfect for serving as a main dish.
