Oven Baked Rainbow Trout Recipes

BAKED RAINBOW TROUT WITH LEMON, PEPPER, AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• Line a rimmed small baking sheet (I used half sheet) with parchment paper.
• Place rainbow trout skin side down in the center of the baking sheet. Brush half of olive oil amount over the top of trout.
• Toss the asparagus (ends trimmed) with the remaining half of olive oil. Place asparagus all around trout on a sheet pan.
• Sprinkle the trout and the asparagus with salt and pepper. Add minced garlic on top of the trout fillet and asparagus. Top with lemon slices.
• Bake for about 15 minutes at 400 F in the preheated oven until the trout is cooked through.
• Remove from the oven. Remove lemon slices from the trout before serving.

BAKED FRESH RAINBOW TROUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with about 1 teaspoon olive oil.
• Place trout in the prepared baking dish and coat with remaining olive oil. Season the inside and outside of fish with dill, thyme, and salt. Stuff each fish with onion slices; grind pepper over the top. Place 1 lemon slice on each fish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; add water to dish. Continue baking until fish flake easily with a fork, about 10 minutes more.

BAKED RAINBOW TROUT FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the rainbow trout fillets on a baking sheet in a single layer, skin side down.
• Brush the rainbow trout fillets with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

WHOLE RAINBOW TROUT BAKED IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut four sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil or eight sheets of lighter foil into squares that are three inches longer than your fish. If using lighter foil, make four double-thick squares. Oil the dull side of the foil with olive oil, and place a trout, skin side down, on each square. Season both sides with salt and pepper, and open them out flat. Place two tarragon or dill sprigs (or one rosemary sprig) and two lemon slices down the middle of each, and fold the two sides together. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over each fish.
• Making sure that the trout are in the middle of each square, fold up the foil loosely, grabbing at the edges and crimping together tightly to make a packet. Place on a baking sheet, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, checking one of the packets after 10 minutes. The flesh should be opaque and pull apart easily when tested with a fork.
• Place each packet on a plate. Carefully cut across the top to open it, taking care not to let the steam from inside the packet burn you. Gently remove the fish from the packet, and pour the juices over it. Sprinkle with fresh tarragon, dill or parsley. Serve, passing the lemon wedges.

SIMPLE HERB-BAKED TROUT & HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Lay the trout over a lightly oiled baking tray and stuff the fish cavity with slices of lemon and herbs. Season generously all over and drizzle with the remaining oil.
• Bake in the oven for 20 mins until the fish is cooked through - the eyes will have turned white and the flesh will be soft to touch. The trout can be served as they are with your favourite seasonal vegetables, but for an added extra touch, peel away the top layer of skin and grate over fresh horseradish before serving.

BAKED TROUT FILLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Arrange trout fillets in a large baking dish.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir green onion, parsley, and garlic until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and continue to cook until just softened, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add white wine, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper. Remove from heat and gently stir in artichoke hearts; pour mixture over trout.
• Bake in preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Remove baking dish from oven and scatter tomatoes over fish.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Return baking dish to oven and broil until fish is browned, 1 to 2 minutes more.
