Notes

Cooking Tips - I suggest using a rimmed sheet pan so there's no spillage from this fish into the oven.

Cooking Time - If you have smaller or thinner fillets, you may need less cooking time. You can check doneness with an instant-read thermometer. Trout should reach 145 degrees F at its thickest point.

Recommended Tools - Line your pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil to keep the fish from sticking to the pan.

Storage - The baked trout can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days.
