Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Steelhead Trout fillets
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter melted
- 4 cloves Fresh Garlic minced
- 1 large Lemon juiced and zested
- 1 tbsp Fresh Dill or Parsley chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Capers optional
- 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Pat the Steelhead Trout fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped fresh herbs.
- Generously brush the garlic butter sauce over the top of the trout fillets, then season evenly with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 135°F for medium or 145°F for well-done).
- Remove from the oven, garnish with extra fresh herbs or lemon slices, and serve immediately while warm.
