Step by step how to prepare
- Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC while preparing the rest of the ingredients to make the trout.
- In a container, mix the crushed garlic, the herbs, the olive oil, the juice of half the lemon, the salt and the pepper well.
- Then, place the trouts on a tray and spread the mixture prepared in the previous step over all of their sides. You can prepare the whole trout, or remove the head, or even as filets depending on how would you prefer.
- Cut the other half of the lemon into slices and place them on the trouts. This will give juiciness to the trouts and in the same way the lemons will caramelize, adding more flavor to the dish.
- Take it to the pre-heated oven and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until they’re completely cooked, but being careful they don’t get them too dry.
- Take it out of the oven and serve hot with the accompaniment you’ve chosen.
