For the Trout
  • 2 fillets steelhead trout fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Can substitute with another oil if needed

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the steelhead trout fillets on a lined baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the fillets.
  4. Sprinkle minced garlic, salt, and pepper on top.
Baking

Notes

Pat the fillets dry before adding oil and lemon to help the seasoning stick. Do not overcook; check at 12 minutes for thinner fillets. Thaw frozen fish before baking for an even cook.
