Trout with tarragon is a refined dish of Armenian cuisine that combines the freshness of fish and the aroma of herbs. Tarragon adds subtle anise notes that beautifully complement the tender meat of the trout. Lemon juice adds acidity and enhances the flavor, while a mix of ginger, black pepper, and salt creates a balanced aftertaste. Baked in foil, the fish retains its juiciness, and vegetable oil gives it an appetizing texture. This dish is perfect for both family dinners and festive gatherings as it is simple to prepare yet has a sophisticated taste and aroma that transports you to sunny Armenia rich in gastronomic traditions.
