Easy Mediterranean Trout
This easy mediterranean style dish is a weeknight favorite that takes under 5 minutes to prepare and less than 20 minutes to cook. It's got lots of delicious flavors from garlic, kalamata olives, and roasted cherry tomatoes. I love adding pine-nuts for the perfect finish. In just 20 minutes you'll serve your family a delicious and nutrient-rich meal. Trout is an excellent source of omega-3 fats, B vitamins, and protein.
According to Monterrey Bay's Seafood Watch (click here to learn about best choices for Trout), look for farmed trout which is a better choice than wild lake trout, since farmed trout is raised in freshwater ponds that are protected from environmental contaminants.
