This rainbow trout recipe is very easy and tasty. One day, I came up with this recipe with the ingredients I had on hand, and my family loved it. It works with farmed or wild trout, takes very little time, and tastes lighter than ocean fish. I buy whole, gutted fish with heads and tails still on from the supermarket; make sure to choose very fresh trout. The key is to add water to the dish as instructed in the directions, which keeps the fish from drying out; add hot water as cold water can crack the baking dish. Serve with rice and veggies. It’s light and delicious, but be careful of bones!
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 2 whole rainbow trout, gutted and cleaned, heads and tails still on
- ¼ teaspoon dried dill weed
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- salt to taste
- ½ large onion, sliced
- 2 thin slices lemon (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
Step 2
Place trout in the prepared baking dish and coat with remaining olive oil. Gather the seasoning ingredients.
Step 3
Season inside and outside of fish with dill, thyme, and salt. Stuff each fish with onion slices; grind pepper on top. Place 1 lemon slice on each fish.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; add hot water to dish. Continue baking until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes more.
Step 5
Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips
The dish will be more flavorful if you use mixed peppercorns instead of only black ones.
