Ingredients

  • 2 whole rainbow trout, cleaned and butterflied

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or thyme

  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven or Grill:
    Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Use a lined baking sheet for the oven or a greased grill pan for grilling.

  2. Prepare Lemon Garlic Mixture:
    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs.

  3. Season Trout:
    Place trout on the prepared surface. Brush both the inside and outside generously with the lemon garlic mixture. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.

  4. Cook the Fish:
    Bake or grill for 10–12 minutes, turning once if grilling, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

  5. Serve:
    Serve hot with extra lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Pairs well with roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.

  • Can be made with filleted trout for easier serving.

  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
