Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy....

Colorado Lake Trout

My friend was kind enough to give me two trout that he had caught.

Now the dilemma  was how to cook them.

Sometimes, pretty much always, simple is the best way to do anything. With this trout , simple is definitely  the way to go.  Salt, pepper, lemon, and tarragon from the garden.  Throw in one of my favorites for cooking outside, my smoker, and dinner is ready.

There's just something about cooking outside that I love. I'm am not the outdoorsy type, I don't camp out.  But turn me loose in the garden or with the grill, I'm  in my element! I like fire and food! Cooking out of doors is the best thing in the world, come winter or summer.

So, back to the trout. Smoked trout on a bed of tarragon, set the grill to 350 degrees and away we go. I have a Traeger grill and it's fantastic.  Set the temperature, and you are ready to go in no time.

Smoked Trout on a bed of tarragon.  Everything was from Colorado, same the lemon, and I have tried to grow everything here.  The trout was caught in one of our northern lakes, and the tarragon was from my backyard.

Hope you get the chance to get outside and cook!
