Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil ((to coat the aluminum foil))
  • 1½ lbs steelhead trout ((washed, rinsed, and descaled))
  • 2 large lemons ( (1 squeezed, the 2nd sliced))
  • ½ tsp each, salt & pepper ((to taste))
  • 2 tsp garlic ((minced))
  • 3 Tbsp butter ((sliced into ½ tablespoon pats, use a good high fat butter))

Instruction

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (205°C).
  • Arrange two long sheets of aluminum foil on a large rimmed baking sheet and use the olive oil to coat the aluminum foil (where the trout will sit).
  • Place your steelhead trout fillets on the oiled part of the foil and squeeze lemon juice over top. Then, season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread the minced garlic across the top of each fillet and place the sliced lemons and pats of butter on top of the garlic.
  • Seal the fillets securely in the foil, making a packet. Bake in the middle of your oven's center rack for 14-16 minutes, then use a fork to check for doneness. Allow the trout to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
