Baked Trout with Lemon Garlic

This adaptation from Simply in Season was neither baked nor trout, and it was not my favorite, but it was not the fault of the recipe.

FOR PRINTABLE VERSION CLICK HERE: Baked Trout with Lemon Garlic

4 fillets trout (or other mild fish; I used walleye, only to discover I don’t like walleye).

4 cloves garlic (minced)

2 lemons (sliced)

2 Tbs oil or melted butter

1. Place the garlic and lemons on top of the fillets (if using whole fish, put some inside, too).

2. Brush oil or butter over top. Bake in a preheated oven at 450F until fish flakes easily with a fork, 5-15 minutes depending on thickness.

3. Fish may also be wrapped in foil and grilled. (We did this option).

Servings: 4

The Verdict: I’ve been trying to be more conscious of where my fish comes from, so I bought some U.S.A. wild caught walleye for this recipe. When DH saw the package he was like “I hate walleye.” It did turn out kind of bony and I put too much oil on it, blech. But we have made fish before with lemon and garlic (we normally add some additional herbs, though. But we like flavor). I guess I must figure out a way to get my dad to share some of his bluegill and perch. Luckily we had plenty of Herb Roasted New Potatoes left to fill our stomachs.
