Recipe

Glazed Trout with Roasted Vegetables

glazed trout and roasted vegetables on a skillet

 

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Serves: 4 servings

Tips

  1. Acorn squash can be roasted whole to make preparation easier. Place whole squash in preheated oven at 400˚F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes or until squash can be gently squeezed. Cool until you can touch it. Then slice open, remove seeds and peel. Cut up the remaining squash into pieces and freeze to use in future recipes.
  2. Start meal planning by saving half of this recipe (2 servings) to make Seafood Chowder. Keep it in the fridge for 3 to 4 days or in the freezer for 2 months.
  3. Put leftovers away within 2 hours or sooner if they are in a warm location. Reheat leftovers to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C ). Discard uneaten leftovers after they have been reheated.
