Baked Fresh Rainbow Trout Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• Clean and pat dry the fish. Sprinkle the fish on the outside and in the cavity with the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour.
• Melt the butter in a saute pan and saute on medium heat for 5 - 10 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish. The flesh should be white and flake easily when done. Take care not to overcook.
• Remove the fish to a platter. Swirl the remaining butter in the pan (add more if there is not enough) and add the parsley. Swirl a bit more until the parsley is thoroughly coated in butter. Pour over the fish and serve.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the trout with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Combine parsley and the next 6 ingredients in a small bowl and stir.
• well.
• Stuff half of herb mixture in each fish cavity.
• Place fish in buttered 13 X 9 X 2-inch baking dish and dot the fish with butter.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
• Garnish with lemon wedges.

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.
