Ingredients

Instructions 

  • First, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Pat fish dry with paper towel. Season on flesh side (not skin side) with pepper, paprika, garlic powder and sea salt.
  • Place seasoned fish on parchment lined pan. Drizzle olive oil over both fillets. Squeeze lemon juice on top.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until fish is flaky. To test doneness, insert fork into flesh. Twist fork. If the flesh is flaky, then it is done.
  • Lastly, remove fish from oven. Serve with sliced lemon if desired.

Notes

  • This recipe can be made using thawed out frozen fillets.
  • Feel free to adjust seasonings as desired.
  • The paprika gives the fish a very subtle hint of spice.  Feel free to omit for a mild flavor.  Alternatively, use more for a spicy flavor.
  • Bake trout until flaky.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
