Trout with spices

25 minutes
Spiced trout is an exquisite dish of French cuisine that combines the freshness of fish with the aroma of herbs. The origins of the recipe date back centuries when chefs sought to highlight the tenderness of trout by adding spicy seasonings. Marinated in coriander, thyme, and bay leaves, it absorbs a richness of flavors, creating a harmony of freshness and spiciness. Baked in foil, the fish retains its juiciness while a lemon accent adds lightness. It pairs perfectly with white wine that complements the complexity of flavor notes. This dish not only delights the palate but also transforms a meal into a gastronomic journey reminiscent of cozy French bistros and pastoral landscapes of Provence.
