Download the printable recipe card!* --- I love citrus fruits—they’re delicious by themselves and immensely versatile in cooking. A traditional fish with lemon preparation is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to combining citrus with the sea. Just about any citrus fruit can make a delicious seafood marinade, either alone or in combination. A citrus slaw may seem unorthodox, but cabbage is also a very versatile food capable of mixing with a wide variety of flavors, and it adds crunch to the fruit. Take the plunge! It’s delicious. In order to use the juice of a fresh pineapple, you will need to cut it using a pineapple corer, which removes the flesh in rings and leaves a hollow pineapple filled with juice.   #### Pineapple and Blood Orange Trout with Slaw ##### For the fish: 1 whole rainbow trout per person, gutted (They’re frequently sold this way at the fish counter.) Juice of one pineapple Juice and zest of one blood orange Salt to taste A small dash of cinnamon Crushed red pepper to taste Preheat oven to 400 and spray a baking pan with cooking spray. Lay the fish inside. Mix the two juices and pour a small amount into the cavity of each fish, then pour the rest into the pan. Season the cavity of each fish with orange zest, salt, pepper, and just a touch of cinnamon. Bake about 20 minutes until the fish flakes easily.   ##### For the slaw: 1 fresh pineapple, diced (Reserve the juice for the fish preparation.) 3 blood oranges, peeled and diced 4 oz. (½ bag) pre-shredded coleslaw without dressing ¼ cup diced cilantro (or mint or basil, if you prefer) Optional: ½ cucumber, diced Juice of 1 lime ~ 2 tbs. mirin or honey Dash of cinnamon Dash of salt Combine the fruits and vegetables in a large salad bowl. Mix lime juice with mirin, cinnamon, and salt, then pour over the slaw and toss.
