Rainbow Trout Recipe

This fool-proof baked trout recipe takes just 20 minutes. It’s a great way to serve a healthy dinner with terrific flavors of lemon, garlic, and herbs—but minimal effort.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound rainbow trout
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 lemon sliced
  • 2-3 Tablespoons fresh herbs try either a mix of parsley and dill, or a mix of rosemary, oregano, and thyme

Instructions

  • Remove trout from the fridge. Pat dry on both sides with a clean kitchen cloth or paper towel.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and place trout in the middle, skin side down.
  • Brush olive oil on top of the trout, then sprinkle evenly with minced garlic and about 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Arrange lemon slices over the top.
  • Bake trout for 10-15 minutes. When done, it should be opaque and flaky and reach 145 degrees F on an instant read thermometer. Remove from the oven.
  • Serve with lemon slices on the side and fresh herbs sprinkled on top. Enjoy!
