Steemit Sandwich Contest Week #72 - Starry Baked Trout & Wedges
And so it's Christmas Eve - a starry starry night here at home, the gifts are all packed, the roast's in the oven and the trifle all done!
While all this was happening, I still had one last sandwich to make before closing time. The son's girlfriend came down for a blitz visit last week and brought us a very special gift - a large trout caught on their recent breakaway.
Don't ask me about the beard, it's way too long - I do not like it ;) but that was a beaut of a trout!
So a Christmas eve sandwich has to have only the best ingredients and trout is really special so I'll be making a Starry Baked Trout & Wedges open Sandwich.
I've only eaten this fish in restaurants, never cooked it myself so went to granny Google for advice - I wanted the easiest method to cook this and not make a mess of it - a Lemon & Herb Baked Trout was my choice as I have Thyme, Rosemary & Parsley growing in my herb garden.
Placed on foil, seasoned, filled with lemon slices, garlic, herbs and lathered with Olive Oil and finally dotted with butter, then sealed and baked for around 35 min in a hot oven.
The flesh flaked off the bone beautifully so was cooked!
Open sandwich Ingredients
- Half a Wholewheat roll
- Tartar Sauce
- Lettuce shredded
- Baked Trout - deboned
- Potato wedges
- Parmesan Cheese
First layer Tartar Sauce
Followed by shredded Lettuce
The star of the show makes an appearance - Deboned Trout
Pipe tartar sauce in a star shape and add another star of Thyme on the outside, place sandwich in centre and top with wedges - fuzzy sign in background
Finely grated Parmesan cheese on top

Thank you so much @thesteemengine :)
What a good looking sandwich, an honor to a great looking trout!
I hate to even tell you that I've let my face grow long too. Except mine is kind of a badgery sort of grey. :)
Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
Thank you for that @bigtom13, not that I don't like beards it's just that his was way too long there! Looks like a portrait of my great great grandfather posing sternly :):)
I’ll give this a few stars!
Love the trout sandwich with the tarttar sauce. Trout is 1 of my fav fish too! And baking it usually produces amazing results as long as u don’t over cook. Bbq is also fantastic! Watch out for flair ups tho!
The beard part was hilarious! Happy holidays!

I was a bit afraid that it would dry out, was quite a plump fish, but it turned out lovely!
Thank you for your positive feedback week after week!
Happy holidays to you as well @jaybird :)
Good to try new things right!?
Ya i think max like 15min in the oven should suffice I just keep checking it & when it starts to "flake" I know it's good to go!
Thanks for that tip @jaybird, granny Google also said 15-20 min but I was worried as it was a large fish so kept it in longer. Will remember next time:)
Nice trout indeed... and what's about the beard. I like beards... at least my one ;)
Ok I agree beards suit many guys but his beard is just too long! Had it trimmed when they got back from vacation;)
That trout was delicious!
ohhhhh we love trout at the Bird nest! What a catch your son made! This looks delicious! I would love to have one of these, with fresh lemon and sauce, certainly a shining star my friend! Love it @lizelle! :) Merry Christmas!
Oh it was delicious indeed my friend :) Hope you had a lovely Christmas day!
I have gotten where I have been putting taters on some of my sandwiches, I like that concept.

Mmm, this looks so delicious, well done and I bet it tasted amazing, wild caught fish are always superior in taste.
Oh for sure, nothing beats that not so!
Thank you for your feedback and support:)
Another wildly wonderful treat, good looking catch on the day.
I was quite surprised to see the size of this trout, they caught it in a resort in Dullstroom, was delicious, thank you for your feedback!
