Fish in general is something we should be eating more of. It’s especially good for growing bodies, so long as you can convince the kids to give it a try. Rainbow trout is a great place to start, with its mild flavour and pretty pink colour, and when coated in an addictive crunchy topping it’ll be a challenge for even the pickiest eater at the table not to get hooked. If that’s not enough, it’s hard to resist a dish that comes together in less than 30 minutes, is impressive enough to serve to your dinner guests, and can be made from the items you likely already have lingering in your pantry and fridge.
