Ingredients

Step cooking

Walnut "fur coat"

1. To begin, cut a piece from our roll of cling film, 2 times the cutting board, and half cover our board. Pour 1/3 cup peeled walnuts onto it, level it and cover with the second half of the film. We take a hammer for meat and gently flat side beat on the kernels of nuts and grind them into small enough pieces.
   
2. Pour the chopped walnuts into a deep container, add 1 pinch of salt to them, 1/3 tsp. dill seeds and mix. Pour into a nut mixture 1/3 tbsp. l sunflower oil, then we take a fork in each hand and carefully mix all the components in the container so that the nuts are evenly lubricated.
   
3. We cut 400 g of trout fillet with skin into 2 identical portioned pieces, put it on a heat-resistant plate with the skin down and slightly add 1 pinch of salt.
   
4. Spread our nut-and-butter mixture on top of the fillet, trying to lay it so that it does not crumble and cover the entire surface of the trout pieces.
   

Cooking trout

• Turn on the oven at 200 ° C and leave it to warm. When the oven warms up, put in it a heat-resistant plate with pieces of fish, close and leave for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, reduce the fire, open the oven door and, without removing the trout from the oven, leave the fish to ripen for another 5 minutes.
• When 5 minutes have passed, turn off the oven, take out our finished fish under a nutty “fur coat”, put it on a dinner plate to the side dish and serve it on the table.
  

Important! One of the important criteria for obtaining a delicious red fish dish is the correctness of its choice. Therefore, before buying a trout, inspect it and make sure that the surface of the skin is moist and not damaged. If you do not have the opportunity to purchase fresh fish, you can use a frozen product. In this case, it is necessary to properly defrost it by placing it in a container with slightly salted cold water, this will help maintain the carcass's shape and elasticity.
