  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds rainbow trout fillet (skin on)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon urfa biber (optional, or substitute aleppo pepper or red chili flakes)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 green onions, trimmed and finely chopped (both white and green parts)
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and pat the trout dry with paper towels.
  2. In a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, half the lemon juice, cumin, paprika, urfa biber (if using), garlic, green onions, parsley, salt, and pepper.
