Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 steelhead trout fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Lemon slices for garnish

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring spoons
  • Mixing bowl
  • Fish spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Place the steelhead trout fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Brush the marinade generously over each fillet.
  5. Top each fillet with a lemon slice.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  7. If desired, switch to broil for the last 2-3 minutes for a crispy top.
  8. Remove the trout from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For an even richer flavor, let the fish marinate in the mixture for up to 30 minutes before roasting.
