Azerbaijani-style trout
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I adore trout and all kinds of salmon, so I've probably tried around 20 to 30 different ways of preparing this wonderful ingredient. Azerbaijani-style trout is one of my latest successful discoveries. The marinade used to coat the trout perfectly enhances the fish's natural flavor. The fish turns out incredibly tender and soft, literally melting in your mouth. But why am I even talking—this one you just have to try :) Serve hot.
