Ingredients
- 1 ¼ lb Steelhead trout skin on
- 2 tsp onion salt
- ¾ tsp Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 lemon
- 1 blood orange
- 2 Tbsp fresh dill large stems removed
Instructions
- Season the trout. Preheat an oven to 275 F. Lightly pat the trout dry on both sides with a paper towel, then place on a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet. Season the flesh of the fish with 2 tsp onion salt, ¾ tsp Kosher salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Zest the lemon and blood orange over the trout fillet, then sprinkle small bits of the butter all over. Add 2 Tbsp of fresh dill leaves all over.
- Slice the citrus. Using a sharp knife, thinly cut the lemon and the blood orange into ¼" thick slices. Alternate slices of citrus directly on top of the trout, covering the entire flesh of the fish.
- Bake the trout. Cook in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reached 125-130F. Serve immediately!
Notes
- If substituting onion salt with onion powder, increase the Kosher salt to a full 1 teaspoon.
