Whole Roasted Rainbow Trout Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Trout

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the trout, removing any innards and rinsing it under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Season the Trout

   Rub the inside and outside of the trout with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon inside the cavity.

3. 3

   Add Prosciutto and Garlic

   Stuff the cavity of the trout with two garlic cloves (sliced) and two slices of prosciutto. Place the remaining prosciutto on top of the fish.

4. 4

   Roast the Trout

   Place the trout on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

5. 5

   Prepare Lemon Butter Sauce

   In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic cloves (sliced) and sauté until golden. Squeeze the remaining lemon juice into the butter and stir in chopped parsley.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once the trout is cooked, remove it from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the fish and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
