Filling

Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, chopped green onions, bread crumbs, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Trout Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Trout

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the rainbow trout fillets and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 3

    Stuff the Trout

    Carefully stuff each trout fillet with the crab filling, folding the fillet over to encase the filling. Place the stuffed trout on a greased baking dish.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Bake the Trout

    Bake the stuffed trout in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Browned Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking until it turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute. Stir in chopped parsley, lemon juice, and salt.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate and Serve

    Remove the trout from the oven. Drizzle the browned butter sauce over the stuffed trout and serve warm.
