Cooking trout in a double boiler allows you to keep its natural taste and nutrients to the maximum. This fish, like other salmon, is very tender, so it is important not to overdry it and not to overdo it with seasonings. Steamed, it will serve as a wonderful lunch or early dinner, especially if you are on a diet.
