Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake whole trout in the oven? First of all, prepare all the products that are indicated in the recipe. It is better to take freshly caught fish or use frozen trout. If you have frozen trout, first of all remove it from the freezer and leave it at room temperature until completely defrosted. Clean the carcass from scales and remove the gills.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onion. For this recipe, it is better to use red onions or shallots; with them, the finished dish will turn out bright and appetizing. In addition, these varieties of onions have a milder taste and complement fish perfectly. Rinse the onion, tomatoes and lemon under running cold water and dry with paper towels. Cut the vegetables and lemon into thin slices, no more than 0.5 cm thick.

3. STEP 3

   

   Line a baking tray with baking paper and place half the chopped tomatoes, onions and lemon on top in one layer.

4. STEP 4

   

   Rinse the greens, dry them, chop them as finely as possible and add half to the vegetables. What greens are best for baking trout? Dill, chives, thyme, basil or parsley work well. Sprinkle a little salt and a mixture of ground pepper on top (you can also use garlic powder, dried basil, oregano and other favorite spices). Drizzle vegetable oil or olive oil evenly over vegetables and lemon.

5. STEP 5

   

   Rinse the trout and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place the carcass on a baking sheet on top of the vegetables.

6. STEP 6

   

   Send a few rings of onion, tomato and lemon into the belly of the fish, do not forget to lightly salt.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the remaining sliced ​​slices on top of the fish. Spread pieces of butter evenly over trout. Add salt to taste, sprinkle with peppers and remaining herbs.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the fish until done. Time and temperature depend on the capabilities of your oven. I baked for 30 minutes, used the “top-bottom” mode, and set the temperature to 220 degrees.

9. STEP 9

   

   Ready! Serve while still hot.

    Trout is also very tasty when chilled.

I really liked the whole rainbow trout baked in the oven for its appearance and speed of cooking. I bought trout already cleaned, gutted and without a head. Lemon, tomato and onion cut into rings. I added salt and pepper to the fish. I put some tomato, lemon and onion rings inside. I first placed onion, tomato and lemon rings in a baking dish, then stuffed whole fish carcasses on top and again lemon, onion and tomato rings. I sprayed everything with oil, added a little more salt, and sprinkled with fresh herbs. At the end, I added pieces of butter to the trout and baked the trout in the oven for about half an hour at 180 C. The aroma was magical. The view is amazing. And the taste cannot be put into words at all. A masterpiece, not a dish. You can safely cook this fish for a holiday; I made rainbow trout for a romantic dinner. We are delighted with the fish with vegetables. All ingredients complement each other perfectly. The oil tenderized the trout and added a creamy flavor. The dish turned out beautiful, juicy, appetizing and mega tasty! Great recipe! Many thanks to the author)
