Instructions

1

Prepare the oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Pro tip: Ensure your oven is fully preheated before placing the trout inside for even cooking.

2

Prepare the trout

Rinse and pat dry the trout. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Pro tip: For a more flavourful dish, stuff the cavity of the trout with lemon slices and minced garlic.

3

Season the trout

Drizzle olive oil over the trout and season with salt and pepper. Lay lemon slices on top.

Pro tip: Rub the oil and seasoning into the skin for better absorption.

4

Prepare the vegetables

In a bowl, toss cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Pro tip: Cut the vegetables into similar sizes to ensure even roasting.

5

Roast the vegetables

Spread the vegetables around the trout on the baking sheet.

Pro tip: Ensure the vegetables are in a single layer to promote even cooking.

6

Bake the trout and vegetables

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the trout flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Pro tip: Check the trout's doneness by inserting a thermometer into the thickest part of the fish.

7

Add basil

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle fresh basil over the vegetables.

Pro tip: Adding basil at the end preserves its vibrant flavour and colour.
