Oven-Roasted Trout
Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 3 - 4
Ingredients:
- 1.85lb fresh fillet
- Potatoes, broccoli, onion
- Also good: bell peppers, brussels sprouts, fennel, cauliflower, etc.
- 1 Lemon
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Prep Instructions:
- Remove large fillet from packaging, rinse and pat dry
- Cut into 3 or 4 even portions, depending on how many you are feeding
- Boil potatoes for 10 minutes and strain
- Chop boiled potatoes, broccoli, onion or other preferred veggies
- Slice 1 lemon thinly (try to get 8 or 9 medallions)
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
- Make a shallow cut in the skin side of your fillets – this will help keep the skin from curling in the oven, and leave you with much crispier skin
- On the sheet tray, toss your veggies in olive oil, salt, and pepper (add your favorite spices + seasonings at this stage)
- Make sure the sheet tray is well-oiled (but not drenched), place your fillets skin side down with a bit of room between them
- Make sure veggies are scattered evenly all around the pan
- One final light drizzle of olive oil and toss in the oven for 12-15 minutes, checking periodically
Serving Instructions:
- Remove from oven, scoop roasted veggies onto a plate and place your fillet on top
- Serve with fresh herbs, lime wedge, and sauce of your choosing – we like a simple lemon yogurt sauce with fresh herbs
- Enjoy!
