HI
This is my first time cooking any kind of trout and I am glad yours is very simple, easy. Having to learn better cooking habits for husband’s diet and mine too to help with blood pressure and losing weight. Can’t wait to taste final product. Hopefully I can get more menus toward lighter eating. Thanks, Carry
