How to bake trout in the oven whole? First of all, prepare all the products that are indicated in the recipe. It is better to take freshly caught fish or use trout from freezing. If you have frozen trout, then first of all remove it from the freezer and leave it at room temperature until completely thawed. Peel the carcass from the scales and remove the gills.

Peel the onions from the husks. It is better to use red onions or shallots for the recipe, with them the finished dish will turn out to be bright and appetizing. In addition, these varieties of onions have a milder taste and perfectly complement the fish. Rinse the onion, tomatoes and lemon under running cold water, dry with paper wipes. Cut vegetables and lemon into thin circles, not more than 0. 5 cm thick.

Line a baking tray with baking paper, top with half the chopped tomatoes, onions and lemon in one layer.

Rinse the greens, dry, cut as finely as possible and send half to the vegetables. Which greens is best taken to bake trout? Dill, schnitt onion, thyme, basil or parsley are good. Sprinkle a little salt and a mixture of ground peppers on top (you can also use garlic powder, dry basil, oregano and other favorite spices). Pour vegetable and lemon evenly over vegetable or olive oil.

Rinse and dry trout with paper wipes to get rid of excess moisture. Place the carcass on a baking sheet over the vegetables.

Send a few rings of onion, tomato and lemon to the belly of the fish, remember to salt lightly.

Top the fish with the remaining chopped circles. Spread the butter pieces evenly over the trout. Salt to taste, sprinkle with peppers and leftover greens.

Send the tray to a preheated oven and bake the fish until cooked. Time and temperature depend on the capabilities of your oven. I baked for 30 minutes, the mode used & quot; top-bottom & quot;, and set the temperature to 220 degrees.

Done! Serve until cold.

Trout is also very tasty when chilled.
