Hillbilly Creek Salmon

[NCHillbilly]

Trout I caught over the weekend: stocker rainbow pushing 18" and about 3 lbs.



Filleted it out and declared it to be salmon.



Glazed with olive oil, salt, pepper, spicy brown mustard, brown sugar, lemon zest, and fresh rosemary and chunked in the fridge to chill while I get the Akorn fired up.



I think this is gonna be good.

That is absolutely beautiful. I wasn't hungry yet and didn't know what I wanted to eat but you just nudged me in a direction.

Yukon Rose taters tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, cayenne, and fresh rosemary. Headed for the oven.

This is the best thing I've ate in awhile.



Those who say that stocker trout aren't fit to eat are doing something wrong.

Beautiful and delicious.

They do gain something by living wild for a year or two after stocking. Those holdovers are prettier, stronger fighters, their meat is pink and firm, and their fins are all intact. That's how it seems to me when we catch one that big around here.

Yep. The longer they stay in the creek, the better they are.
