Kyle’s Baked Trout (or Salmon)

Kyle picking up ingredients for this month’s recipe. (You might just opt for the fish market.)

With Spring upon us Kyle is spending more and more time out on the lake fishing. Trout season is almost here as well, so he’s taking this opportunity to show you his preferred method of cooking his catch…

Ingredients:

Two cleaned whole rainbow trout or 1 large filet of salmon
2-3 tablespoons of butter
3 Cloves of Garlic finely chopped
Parsley finely chopped, about a half cup worth
1 lemon zest and juice
Pinch of brown sugar (don’t use much, it can easily overpower the fish)
Pinch of dried dill to taste
Pinch of chili flakes
Foil lined baking sheet, and more foil to cover fish while cooking

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375° F
Place foil over a baking sheet
Rinse fish and pat dry
Place fish on baking sheet covered with foil
Season fish with salt, pepper, dill, brown sugar and chili flakes
Zest lemon over trout, squeeze juice into a separate container, make sure no seeds are in juice
Put a pat of butter on each piece of fish
Sprinkle garlic and parsley over butter
Cover fish with foil, seal edges
Bake fish at 375° for 10-15 minutes on average, based on thickness of fish
Open foil and make sure fish is cooked through (flakes easily)
Once fish is cooked turn on broiler and broil for about 2-3 minutes, which will caramelize the butter and seasoning on the fish
Drizzle lemon juice over fish and serve.
