Baked Trout Recipe

trout

honey

soy sauce (gluten free if needed or coconut aminos)

sesame oil oil

salt and black pepper

sesame seeds

parsley (chopped)

½ medium fresh lemon (sliced)

Prep. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Make The Honey Mustard Marinade Sauce. Combine Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl or jar. Set aside.

Season the fish. Season the trout fillets generously with salt and black pepper.

Make a foil packet. Grease foil packets with olive oil and place the seasoned trout fillets inside (fish skin side down). Pour the honey mustard mixture over the trout fillets, leave some to brush more sauce before serving.

Seal the foil packets securely. Arrange the foil packets on a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven.

Cook. Bake for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Check one fillet after 10 minutes; the flesh should easily flake with a fork.

Once done, remove the fish in foil packets from the oven. Pour any remaining sauce over the cooked trout, sprinkle them with mixed sesame seeds, and garnish with parsley or cilantro.

Serve the baked trout with lots of fresh lemon slices and your preferred choice of vegetables.

Very light and refreshing sauce. This simple recipe is healthy and is great if you are new to cooking trout. I served this recipe with a Spinach Strawberry Salad and green beans.

I made this and followed the recipe exactly.  Used hot peppers.  Wish I had added more onions and I made also brown rice which is great.  I always have rice with any fishes. So easy and oh so good.

Sounds really easy and very healthy, will try tomorrow night… 😋

Baked Rainbow Trout

rainbow trout (gutted and cleaned, with heads still on)

olive oil

lemon (thinly sliced)

garlic (sliced)

dill and parsley (or rosemary

black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Tear off a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil big enough to go completely around both fish and set it on a baking sheet.

Place trout on foil and drizzle each trout with 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil. Season the inside and outside with salt and pepper.

Place a few slices of lemon, one sliced clove of garlic, and a couple of sprigs of fresh dill, or the herb of your choice, inside each of the trout. Fold the foil over the fish, crimping the edges well to create an envelope for the fish to bake in.

Bake for 10-15 minutes, checking after 10 minutes to see if the fish is done. It will be opaque and flake easily with a fork when done.

Baked trout with miso butter is tender, juicy, and full of savory flavor. An easy recipe with simple steps for a weeknight dinner or holiday table.

Baked trout with miso butter recipe

1-1.25 lb center-cut steelhead or rainbow trout fillet (about 1 inch at the

tbsp ghee or butter (softened to room temperature)

2.5 tsp white or yellow miso paste

garlic (grated (2 small))

½ tbsp sake (or dry sherry)

¼ tsp coarse sea salt

⅛ tsp ground black pepper

brown sugar

lemon juice (for serving, not baked in)

scallion

Preheat the oven

Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut a large sheet of parchment paper.

Make miso butter

Make miso butter: In a small bowl, mash together ghee (or softened butter), miso paste, and garlic until smooth.

Season the fish

Season fish: Place trout fillet in the center. Pat dry and drizzle with sake, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and brown sugar. Spread the miso butter evenly over the top.

Wrap the fish

Thicker rainbow/steelhead trout

- For thick steelhead/ rainbow trout (about 1 inch at the thickest part, ~1 lb or larger): Use a candy-wrap style. Bring the parchment up around the fish and twist the ends tightly like a wrapped sweet. This forms a loose tent over the fish, letting a little steam escape so the fillet bakes gently without over-steaming.

Thinner trout fillets

- For thin white-flesh trout fillets (smaller, delicate, leaner): Use a fully sealed parchment pouch (classic en papillote). Fold the edges all the way around to trap steam inside. This keeps thinner, leaner fillets moist and prevents them from drying out.

Bake

Bake: Place the wrapped fish on a baking sheet and bake for 14–16 minutes (steelhead/rainbow) or 12–14 minutes (thin fillet trout). Look for opaque flesh that flakes easily, with just a faint blush in the middle.

How to serve it

Serve: Carefully open the parchment (watch the steam). Spoon any melted miso butter from the packet over the fish. The skin will be soft rather than crispy — simply flake the fillet away from the skin and enjoy it with the buttery sauce. Finish with lemon juice and scallions. Serve warm.

This dish is amazing! The trout came out so moist and omg so much flavor. I think a drizzle of lime would also work well. Great dish and so healthy, too!

I love this lemon butter herb baked trout made with just a few simple fresh ingredients in less than 20 minutes. Succulent, melt-in-your-mouth and delish.

Baked Trout With Lemon, Butter & Herbs

herbs Note 1

lemon (2 tbsp lemon juice plus zest of whole lemon)

HEAT OVEN TO 400F/204C. Line a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil sprayed with oil for easy clean up.

PREPARE TROUT FILLETS: Place trout on pan, flesh side of the fish up. Microwave butter and oil for 20-30 seconds until butter is melted. Using a sharp knife, cut slits horizontally every 2 inches/5 cm on each fillet (about 3-4 slits per fillet). Stuff half of mixed herbs into slits. Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper. Drizzle HALF of butter oil mixture (about 2 tbsp) and the lemon juice over trout .

BAKE TROUT in preheated oven for 9-11 minutes. Cooking time will depend on thickness of fillets, or until cooked. Ideally, trout will be moist and warm pink - not dry, pale and flaky.

FINISH AND SERVE: Sprinkle remaining herbs and lemon zest over top of fish fillets. Drizzle on remaining 2 tablespoons of butter (or butter-oil mixture). Sprinkle lightly with sea salt or kosher salt. Serve: To serve without fish skin, slip spatula between flesh and skin, then lift up. I cut trout into portions first (just down to the skin) to make this easier. Garnish with slices of lemon if you like.  Serve immediately.

Absolutely superb! No more words than that are necessary...

I have made a variation of this since I was a child. It’s nice to have  a written copy to work with and pass around.
