Lemon-herb Baked Rainbow Trout

If you can manage to reel in a freshwater trout, you’re in luck: this delicious fish is high in heart-healthy omega fatty acids. This lovely delicate baked fish with lemon and french herbs makes for a great light Sunday lunch.

Ingredients

1 large Rainbow Trout fillet (16 oz.)
1 lemon (sliced)
1 tbsp Tarragon
1 tsp Marjoram
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees with the rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray briefly with nonstick spray. Place fish fillet in center of baking sheet.

Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange lemon slices on top of fish fillet. Sprinkle tarragon and Marjoram on top of fish fillet and lemon slices. Drizzle olive oil onto fish fillet.

Place in oven and bake for 14 minutes, or until fish flakes nicely with a fork and is opaque in the center. Remove from oven.

Divide fish into three even pieces and serve. Goes great along with wild rice and some fresh steamed vegetables or as part of a salad over fresh greens with a balsamic vinaigrette.

Wine Suggestions: Enjoy this tasty dish with a Sauvignon Blanc from Winters Drift.
