Rainbows bake well. A magic way to cook fish fillets involves poaching and baking. Baking in paper. Rainbow fillets are perfect for this.

When I'm in a big hotel kitchen, I'll make a house smoked rainbow trout mousse, spread it on skate fillets, roll them, bake them en papillote, serve them with a champagne & native pepper beurre blanc. That smokey flavour adds a discordant and balancing note to the dish.
