How to Make Simple Moist And Flaky No Matter What Baked Stuffed Trout

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Clean and gut the trout. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the stuffing ingredients: bread crumbs, melted butter, chopped celery, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Gently stuff the trout cavity with the breadcrumb mixture. Do not overstuff.
  5. Place the stuffed trout in a greased baking dish.
  6. Drizzle the trout with melted butter and lemon juice.
  7. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will depend on the size of the trout; larger trout will require longer cooking time. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the fish; it should flake easily.
  8. Let the trout rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges (optional).
