Ruby Red Trout with fresh dill.....and a simple salad with white wine vinaigrette!!

Summer has come to Boulder, and fresh dill is growing in my container garden. Our favorite fish, ruby red trout, is available in abundance. So what's a girl to do? Cook. Here are my recipes for the fish and a salad that made our hearts sing. Hope you enjoy.
Be well,
