This adaptation from Simply in Season was neither baked nor trout, and it was not my favorite, but it was not the fault of the recipe.
FOR PRINTABLE VERSION CLICK HERE: Baked Trout with Lemon Garlic
4 fillets trout (or other mild fish; I used walleye, only to discover I don’t like walleye).
4 cloves garlic (minced)
2 lemons (sliced)
2 Tbs oil or melted butter
1. Place the garlic and lemons on top of the fillets (if using whole fish, put some inside, too).
2. Brush oil or butter over top. Bake in a preheated oven at 450F until fish flakes easily with a fork, 5-15 minutes depending on thickness.
3. Fish may also be wrapped in foil and grilled. (We did this option).
Servings: 4
The Verdict: I’ve been trying to be more conscious of where my fish comes from, so I bought some U.S.A. wild caught walleye for this recipe. When DH saw the package he was like “I hate walleye.” It did turn out kind of bony and I put too much oil on it, blech. But we have made fish before with lemon and garlic (we normally add some additional herbs, though. But we like flavor). I guess I must figure out a way to get my dad to share some of his bluegill and perch. Luckily we had plenty of Herb Roasted New Potatoes left to fill our stomachs.

Well, that LOOKS very nice. I am a little confused. Did you say you and your husband didn’t like this dish? It sounds really good. Next time a neighbor gives us some bluegill, I’ll try it!
sorry about the confusion there. We would have liked it had it been a different fish (not walleye LOL). Also maybe with the addition of some cracked pepper.
Catchy explanation below your recipe title! It LOOKS delicious. Nice to meet you today. :~D
I love ‘Simply in Season’. I read it when I am tense from work or whatnot and need to relax… it’s written in such a simple and straightforward manner that one can’t help but unwind while reading it. However, (in my opinion) if followed exactly, the recipes are a bit on the bland side. They are a good starting point, and with just a little extra this or that (usually salt and pepper, some herbs etc) they can be really delicious, especially for everyday food.
On a different note, what’s not good about walleye? I’ve never had it. Does it taste fishy? is it bone-y? bland?
.-= Jen´s last blog ..Apricot, Cornmeal, and Sage Cookies =-.
definitely bony! And yes, we often “kick it up a notch” glad you stopped by!
We don’t eat a lot of fish but it looks great! Just found your blog, I like it, thanks!
Try this recipe with Alaskan pollock fillets (frozen or fresh) it is incredible. My husband and I like it as above or with tandoori spices; or sometimes a bit of the Syrian Za’atar spice mixture sprinkled on top, works an absolute treat.
