EASY RECIPE: Baked Fresh Trout

Serves: 2 to 4

Ingredients

• 2 freshly caught whole trout
• Coconut oil
• 1 onion, peeled and sliced into rounds
• 1 lemon, sliced into rounds
• 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons water

Steps

The first step if you have freshly caught trout is to gut it. Don’t fillet the trout. Leave the head and tail intact, removing only the guts.

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat the bottom of the pan with the coconut oil. Other oils can be used, but I prefer coconut.

Stuff the inside of the trout with the onion, lemon, dill and thyme and place into the pan. Take some melted coconut oil and lightly cover the top of the trout to help crisp the skin. Before putting in the oven, cover the outside of the trout in your desired amount of pepper.

Bake the fish for 10 minutes. Add the 2 tablespoons of water to the dish and continue to bake for another 8 to 10 minutes.

After this, you should have a delicious, flaky trout dinner.
