Equipment

Oven
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Small bowl
Spoon
Paper towels

Ingredients

2 (6-ounce each) Rainbow trout fillets [170g each]
2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil [30ml]
1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice [15ml]
2 cloves Garlic, minced [6g]
2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped [6g]
½ teaspoon Sea salt [3g]
¼ teaspoon Ground black pepper [1g]
4-6 slices Lemon slices for garnish
Fresh dill sprigs for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the trout fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure there are no bones by running your fingers along the flesh.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, sea salt, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the trout fillets skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spoon the marinade evenly over the trout fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the lemon slices on top of the fillets, adding an extra layer of flavor as they bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the trout is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with fresh dill sprigs before serving.

Notes

For an even more flavorful experience, let the trout marinate for up to 30 minutes before baking. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad for a complete keto-friendly meal.
