- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the trout fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Finely chop the parsley, dill, and garlic cloves. Sprinkle the chopped herbs and garlic evenly over the trout fillets.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and place them on top of the fillets.
Drizzle the fillets with olive oil and add a small pat of butter (about 1 teaspoon each) on top of the fillets for added richness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the trout flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
