Steps
Prep and Season
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Rinse the trout thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry inside and out with paper towels. Make 2-3 shallow cuts on both sides of each fish to allow the flavors to penetrate better. In a small bowl, mix the chopped dill, parsley, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Stuff and Roast
Stuff the belly cavity of each trout with the herb mixture and a few lemon slices. Insert a lemon slice into each cut on the sides of the fish. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the fish, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and turns a beautiful golden brown.
Serve
Remove the roasted trout from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and a sprinkle of fresh dill or parsley.
Extra Tips
► Serve the trout with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
► If you like spicy flavors, add a pinch of chili flakes to the herb mixture.
► Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil at the end of baking for an even more intense flavor.
