How to Make Baked Trout Fillets With Bread Stuffing

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet with olive oil.
2. Gently remove any pin bones from the trout fillets using tweezers or needle-nose pliers. Place fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
4. Pour half (1 tablespoon) of the heated olive oil into a small cup and set aside.
5. Add 1/2 cup chopped scallions and 1/2 cup diced carrots to the sauté pan.
6. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
7. Stir in 1 cup of cubed bread (day-old is best), 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth, 1 large egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
8. Gently toss to combine and moisten the bread.
9. Spoon the bread stuffing evenly over the trout fillets, creating oval mounds.
10. Gently press the stuffing to adhere to the fillets.
11. Drizzle the reserved 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the stuffed fillets.
12. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden brown and the trout is cooked through.
13. Carefully transfer the stuffed trout fillets to serving plates using a spatula.
14. Serve immediately with your favorite sides. Enjoy!
