I think this was actually a Northern with a teriyaki marinade sauce- but we do the lake trout with the same basic process. We leave the head on and just gut the fish and stuff it with various herbs depending on what I grab from the yard as we go. Mostly it will be some wild onions, thyme, scant amount of rosemary. I use 2 layers- placing the fish on first parchment paper and drizzling olive oil and white wine all over the outside of the fish. Or like the picture of the northern you can do a teriyaki sauce- what ever sounds good. Then wrapping it in tin foil and slow cooking directly on the grate. The parchment paper keeps the moisture in better I have found The pot in the picture has my favorite wild rice recipe- previously dehydrated with various diced veggies wild mushrooms, garlic and leeks. We like a pinot grigio with this meal. There isn't a 5 star restaurant on the planet that can match this! |

Cheesy Trout! Filet trout, removing both skin and bones. Place a layer of trout fillets on the bottom of a backing dish. Layer mozzarella, asiago, and romano cheese over the trout along with salt, pepper, and basil. Another layer of trout and cheese. Then make a mushroom sauce (butter, fresh mushrooms, flour and milk), pour the sauce over the top of the trout. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes at 350. Enjoy! Here is another one of our favorites! Take trout fillets, and sauté in butter until they fall apart. Add a can of green chilies, black beans, and cream cheese. Cook until it is all blended together. Add mix to tortilla shells and place into backing pan. Cover dish with cheese and enchilada sauce. Back until cheese is melted! |

Lake Trout Chowder 1 Lb Bacon 1 package Au Gratin Potatoes 1 golf ball sized cheesecloth package pickling spice 2 onions 2 small (17" or 18") or one big (24") Lake Trout Cook bacon till very crispy, remove bacon and save, leave grease. Slice and cook Onions 10 minutes Add a little more water than Potatoes ask for. Add potatoes and cheese mix, pickling spice ball, simmer till potatoes are rehydrated. Filet and chunk lake trout to 1" and add, simmer 10 more minutes or until fish is cooked through. Serve and sprinkle with bacon. This will make enough enough to completely stuff two people and probably enough for 3 regular eaters. This recipe easily makes more or less by multiplying or dividing. We have once made it with pike, it was still good but the fish fell apart. |

Mongo hit it on the head. I can't improve on his suggestions other than perhaps his choice of wine. However, if there's a fire ban, it'll be slow cooking that fish on the grate. An alternative is to fillet the fish, leaving the skin on. Fry in plenty of butter over a moderate heat. Don't bread it. I've frequently substituted lemon pepper and/or season salt or seasonall for the normal S & P. Don't overseason or overcook regardless of which method you use. Oh, yeah, if you wrap in foil and cook over the fire, leave the head on. The cheeks are a delicacy. |
