This rainbow trout recipe is very easy to make for a light and delicious fish dinner. I came up with this recipe with the ingredients I had on hand, and my family loved it. It works with farmed or wild trout, takes very little time, and tastes lighter than ocean fish. I buy fresh, whole, gutted trout with heads and tails still on from the supermarket. Serve with rice and veggies.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil , divided
- 2 whole rainbow trout , gutted and cleaned, heads and tails still on

Grain-Free Butter Bread
After some trepidation, I finally decided to grant the roughly 1,000 food wishes for a grain-free butter bread recipe. And it exceeded my expectations! Without wheat flour and yeast, it won't be true bread. But if you're off carbs, and have been dreaming about a nice slice of buttered toast with your eggs, this is well worth a try. It tastes relatively neutral, with a very subtle egginess and faint almond flavor, and a texture reminiscent of an extra moist and spongy white bread.

Sauteed Spinach and Mushrooms
My husband and I love sauteed spinach, sauteed mushrooms, sauteed onions, and sauteed garlic. So, we put it all together with some tomatoes to add some zip.
