Sesame & Citrus Oven-Roasted Trout

Does December leave you hurried and harried? I know it's not just me. It can't just be me.

So, when a friend gave me cleaned, frozen trout that he had caught earlier in the year, I was excited for the quick and easy dinners I saw in my future. Really. Once these are defrosted, they are on the table in just about 30 minutes. It's perfect for a crazy weekday evening.

Ingredients serves 4

2 whole trout, cleaned and thawed if previously frozen
freshly ground salt
freshly ground pepper
6 to 8 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
4 T soy sauce, divided
4 t toasted sesame sauce oil, divided
juice from 2 organic lemons (I use Meyer lemon, but use what you have)
lemon slices from organic lemons
Also needed: parchment paper-lined baking sheet

Procedure

Lay your fish on a parchment paper and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Sprinkle the inside cavity of the fish with salt and pepper. Place the crushed garlic and lemon slices inside. You can secure the fish with a toothpick or twine. I just folded it closed and placed it on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Sprinkle the outside of the fish with salt and pepper. Drizzle 2 T soy sauce over each fish and, then, 2 t sesame oil. Place some lemon slices on the top and put sheet in the oven.

Roast for 20 to 25 minutes - until the flesh is opaque and the skin is browned and crisped. Serve hot. I served this with an Asian cabbage slaw and sautéed yellow squash. So easy!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy. Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here.

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
