With the popular Two Rivers SRA Trout Lake open and thousands of pan-sized rainbow trout being stocked around the state this week and next, I thought no better time to relay a super-tasty trout recipe for you to try! This is one of the easiest recipes to make for smoked trout at home or at the cabin, no smoker needed! This recipe comes to us from Jo Momsen whom I work with at our Game and Parks Omaha Office. If you know Jo, she can cook! Give Jo’s recipe a whirl, you’ll love it!
No Smoker Needed Smoked Trout
3 or more whole trout
1 cup Morton’s Tender Quick
8 tsp. Liquid Smoke
½ cup ice cream salt
1 gallon water
Mix above ingredients. Soak and refrigerate fish 24 hours. Drain fish and bake on a greased cookie sheet for 4 hours at 200ºF. Turn once after 2 hours. Serve as a meal or as an appetizer with unsalted crackers. To keep: wrap tightly in freezer paper and freeze.
