Salmon Trout with Cucumber Salsa

There are many varieties of trout that are readily available today.  I like either Rainbow or Salmon trout.  It has a delicate and nutty flavour.  It goes well with a flavourful salsa such as this.  It cooks quickly and is a favourite amongst those who don’t like stronger tasting fish.

Health Tip: Rainbow trout are farmed primarily in freshwater ponds where they are more protected from contaminants and fed a fishmeal diet that has been fine-tuned to conserve resources.

Children’s Tip: Children usually enjoy trout due to its milder flavour and soft texture. Remove the skin and red onions and substitute a milder cheese.

Ingredients

1 ½ cup diced baby cucumber with skin
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup diced red bell pepper
¼ cup diced red onion
2 tsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1 tsp minced garlic
Salt and pepper
2 Tbsp chopped dill or parsley
1 lb salmon trout or rainbow trout, with skin
