Lemon Garlic Steelhead Trout is baked in foil to create a light and flaky recipe. This trout tastes incredibly delicious as it's not overcooked, and has a buttery garlic taste from the marinade. You can serve with rice and steamed veggies for an easy healthy meal.
1freshly squeezed lemon - ½ for fish, ½ for butter sauce
3garlic cloves - minced
½tspdried dill weed - or fresh dill
salt and pepper - to taste
lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Add a large piece of aluminum foil to the baking sheet. You want it to be big enough to cover and fold over the fish.
Melt the butter in a bowl in microwave for 30 seconds.
Stir in the lemon juice, garlic cloves, dill, salt and pepper.
Add the steelhead trout to the aluminum foil. Squeeze fresh lemon over top of the fish.
Drizzle the butter dill mixture over the fish.
Lay slices of lemon on top
Cover the trout tightly with foil allowing a bit of room inside but no holes to release the steam. Bake for 20 minutes wrapped in the foil.
Turn the oven to broil at 400°F. Uncover the fish and bake an additional 3-4 minutes. Fish will be done when it's opaque (not translucent) and can be easily flaked with a fork.
