Today’s Menu: Cajun Rainbow Trout w/ Hash Browns and Green Beans
For Breakfast it was a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Another hot and humid day out there. We have a high of 88 degrees and the humidity almost as high. Rain showers by late
afternoon. A heavy thunderstorm moved in late yesterday. Heavy rain and strong winds. As the storm passed us it got worse, a tornado and it caused a lot of damage to a County next to ours. So after my Tea I watered the Tomato and Pepper Plants. After Lunch I took a friend to a local Home Depot. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Cajun Rainbow Trout w/ Hash Browns and Green Beans.
I had the Rainbow Trout Fillet that I had purchased from Meijer the other day. To prepare it all I’ll need is; Rainbow Trout Fillet, 1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 Teaspoon
Zatarain’s Creole Seasoning, and 1 Teaspoon chopped Parsley Flakes. To prepare it I preheat the broiler. Pat the fillets dry and lightly brush both sides with oil. Sprinkled both sides evenly with Cajun seasoning. Place skin side down on a broiler rack and broil 4-6 inches from heat for 5 minutes or until the Trout flakes easily when I tested it with a fork. You can add a Lemon Wedge with it if you like. Excellent recipe, you have the fresh taste of the Trout along with all the flavor from the Creole Seasoning!
Then for one side I prepared some Simply Potatoes Hash Browns. Fried in Extra Light Olive Oil and seasoned them with Sea Salt, Ground Pepper, and Parsley. I love Hash Browns,
they make the perfect side for any Dish! I also heated up the leftover Del Monte Cut Green Beans from last night. I just love the trio of the Cajun Rainbow Trout, Hash Browns, and Green Beans, one of my favorites for sure! For Dessert/Snack later a Diet Peach Snapple.
Rainbow Trout
The rainbow trout is a trout and species of salmonid native to cold-water tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America. – Wikipedia
Rainbow trout is packed with protein and essential Omega-3 fatty acids, as well as potassium – all of which can help to manage high blood pressure, improve muscle strength and boost metabolism. Rainbow trout are loaded with phosphorus, and a good source of Vitamins B6, B12, pantothenic acid, and selenium.
