Cognac-Infused Lightly Salted Trout

I offer lightly salted trout, an excellent recipe! Cognac will give the fish a special shine and piquant taste. This will also kill any germs on the fish. You don’t have to skimp on salt and don’t be afraid to oversalt it, since trout won’t absorb more salt than it needs. A plate with fish can also be decorated with olives or black olives.
