Lake trout recipes

[CrappieHunter]

I gotta a freezer full of lake trout I gotta get rid of before our Duluth trip. Does anyone have any favourite recipes? I've only ever smoked it before, and I want to try something new.

Thaw, dump copious amounts of peppercorn ranch dressing on the meat, and grill skin side down until the edges of the skin are burnt black. Shovel off the meat from the skin and consume with favorite sides and cold beer. Good Eatin' right there.

If you do this, please take a pic and add to the food porn thread. It will definitely qualify. (Grin)

Could always keep it simple, bake it with a lemon zest and a light parmesan crust. Fancy it up with a lemon and pepper bechamel.

Smoke up batch and share? I would be a willing taste tester
Been doing some experiments on salmon from Sak and found a few different seasonings coupled with a sauce at the end on the grill/smoker or oven to be good. Favorite is Meat Church Texas Sugar or Holy Vodoo and some Big Wicks Peper Jelly.
Lake trout are on my bucket list for sure, especially through the ice

And yeah some of those sweeter seasonings would be delicious

Texas Sugar has a little more heat than you would expect. I wouldn't call it overly hot but it does have a nice kick, the name is deceiving. Holy Voodoo is more of a Cajun kick.

I just bake it open if it needs to be crusted or else it'll be a soggy mess.

Greasy oily "slicks" we call them on mn lake superior north shore stick with maple wood smoke,brine over night in kosher salt/ brown sugar.... stop @ Russ Kendall ' s smoke house on scenic hwy 61 just south of town (two harbors) best brown sugar smoked lake trout and salmon hands down,family owned business with great insight smoking fish,they have the best smoked cisco's and herring

 

[Retired-Guy]

Have to agree with the Russ Kendall recommendation. Lived in the Duluth area for 16 years and stopped there many times for some delicious smoked fish.

 

[snow2]

Otherwise fillet out smaller one's (2 to 5lbs) like a walleye scale leave skin on dang good pan fried over a campfire

 

[measure-it]

Brine overnight in fridge: 1c kosher salt, 1c table sugar or 1 1/3c light brown sugar to 1 gallon warm water to disolve...cool down. Fish fillets (skin on) submerged well.
Make a paste of water, Frank's hot sauce to taste, brown sugar& lemon pepper.
Skin side down on med-low heat grill til flakes well. Slide meat off skin & enjoy.
Note: if skin is off the fillets, grill on HD tin foil or pizza stone.
