Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 6-8 oz each) lake trout fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
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 lake trout fillets dry with paper towels, ensuring they are completely dry for even seasoning.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic (finely chop or use a garlic press), salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a simple marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly onto both sides of the lake trout fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and place a few slices directly on top of each fillet. Reserve some lemon for squeezing after cooking.
Place the seasoned fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, skin side down (if using skin-on fillets).
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cook time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle each with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges on the side.
