Baked Sea Trout

I sometimes get the urge to eat fish. And it has been a while, I perused the seafood display at the grocery store. I usually go for salmon because it's the fish I know, but the prices were too high. I found a decently priced and sized slab of sea trout though.  I always thought trout as a fresh water fish, so it intrigued me.

I looked for a recipe online and found one that seemed good, but required sour cream which I didn't have on hand. So I got creative (experimental?).

The dressing consists of lots of grated Parmesan cheese with a teaspoon of lemon juice, some salt and a bit of garlic powder. I mixed it and added some milk to make it pasty. I spread that over the fish in an oven-proof pan. Sprinkled with paprika and covered with a layer of mayonnaise.

In the oven at 350F for about 20 minutes (until the meat breaks easily) and there we are!

The result was delicious and I definitely will use this again. And the trout was good too! It tasted surprisingly close to salmon.
