Peace family,

Who doesn’t love a good one-pan meal? They’re super easy and the cleanup is usually minimal. This oven baked garlic & herb rainbow trout is no different. But just because it’s a healthy one-pan meal does not mean it skips on flavor or satisfaction. The fish and the brussels sprouts are generously seasoned with fresh garlic, chopped rosemary and basil, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and of course a touch of salt and pepper. If you’re looking for deliciously clean eating, then this is one you don’t want to miss out on.

How Many People Does This Dish Serve?

What Does Rainbow Trout Taste Like?

To me, rainbow trout is very mild and nutty in taste and does not taste “fishy” at all. This makes it the perfect canvas for a variety of sauces, spices, seasonings, and herbs, but I like to keep things simple. It is flaky and tender in texture. 

Why is it Called Rainbow Trout?

Rainbow trout get their name from the array of colors that can appear on their skin. The coloration of trout varies by species, location, and diet.

Is Rainbow Trout Healthy?

Rainbow trout is a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids and protein. The skin is especially nutrient dense.

Where to Buy Rainbow Trout?

I’ve seen rainbow trout at all of my local grocers – HEB, Walmart, Central Market, Sprouts, and Whole Foods. You should not encounter much trouble locating it in your area.

How Much Does Rainbow Trout Cost?

That average price listing for rainbow trout where I live (San Antonio, TX) is about $9 per pound. Of course, this will vary by grocer and by region. 

How Do I Know When Rainbow Trout is Done?

You will know that your fish is done when it flakes easily when touched with a fork or reaches an internal temperature of 145°, F. 

How Do I Prep the Brussels Sprouts?

First, wash the brussels sprouts very well, taking care to remove any visible dirt. I slice my brussels sprouts in half, cut off the tough end, and manually peel away at the layers until they are deconstructed. This may seem labor intensive, but in reality it only took me about five minutes. Easy! You can discard any particularly tough outer pieces as desired.

How to Cook Baked Garlic & Herb Rainbow Trout with Shaved Brussels Sprouts 

• Start by preheating your oven to 375 F
• On a half sheet pan, place both ruby red rainbow trout filets skin side down.
• Add the shaved brussels sprouts to the same pan, in the empty spaces surrounding the fish.
• Drizzle both the fish and the brussels sprouts with the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice before seasoning with the salt, pepper, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and fresh basil. 
• Place the pan into the oven and allow the meal to cook for 25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily to the touch with a fork, or registers an internal reading of 145°, F on an instant read thermometer.

That’s it! Just like that your quick, simple, easy, and flavorful weeknight meal is done and you get your evening back!
