Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Rainbow trout fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly grease the foil with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the rainbow trout fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the trout fillets. Season them with salt, black pepper, and a tablespoon of lemon juice.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler, positioning it about 4-6 inches from the heat source. Broil the trout for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the trout is cooking, prepare the herb mayonnaise. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped parsley, chopped dill, chopped chives, minced garlic, and the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Remove the trout from the broiler and let it rest for 1-2 minutes on the baking sheet.
Serve the broiled trout hot, with a dollop of herb mayonnaise on the side or lightly spread over the fish. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the herb mayonnaise for a pop of color.
Garnish the plate with lemon wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your Broiled Rainbow Trout with Herb Mayonnaise!
