Trout Stuffed with Sundried Tomato and Basil Quinoa

Serves 4
Time 1 hr 5 min

Preparing stuffed trout is both easy and impressive as you can find them already butterflied and deboned at your seafood counter. What you might need to do though is to remove the tiny pin bones that run along the middle of the fillets. Simply pull out with your fingers or tweezers before stuffing.
