How to Make Baked Trout With Fresh Herbs

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Rinse two 1-pound trout fillets and pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. Season trout generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Mix well.
  5. Stuff half of the herb mixture into the cavity of each trout fillet.
  6. Place the trout fillets in a buttered 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Dot the top of each fillet with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley sprigs before serving.
