Smokey Maple Baked Trout
The secret to this easy recipe: parchment paper! Baking fish in parchment paper has been a game-changer, helping me cook fish to (dare I say) perfection every time.
Equipment
- baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- oven
Ingredients
- 225-250 g Trout - rainbow or steelheat (Could use salmon too!)
- 1 Tbsp Maple syrup
- ΒΌ tsp Smoked Paprika
- pinch salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Lay a good-sized piece of parchment paper out (aim for about 4-6 times the size of your fish fillet). It may help to lay this out directly on your baking sheet.
- Drizzle maple syrup over fillet, sprinkle with paprika and salt.
- Fold up parchment paper as best you can (doesn't have to be perfectly sealed), and transfer carefully onto baking sheet.
- Bake for about 12 minutes (may need more time if you have a thick fillet of fish). Remove from the oven, and carefully unwrap, then serve!
