Cheesy Baked Trout

Ingredients

• 4 trout fillets, rinsed, patted dry
• 3/4 cup Italian style or regular bread crumbs
• 2 tbsp garlic powder
• 1/2 cup grated romano or parmesan cheese
• 1/3 cup lemon juice or more if needed
• 4 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
• parchment paper or aluminum foil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, garlic powder, cheese and enough lemon juice to form a paste.

Tear off a piece of parchment paper large enough for the trout to be enclosed loosely. Place a fillet on the parchment paper and spread 1/4 of the paste evenly on top of the fillet. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of parsley.

Fold the parchment paper to enclose the trout loosely. Tuck ends underneath creating a sealed pocket.

Repeat with the remaining trout fillets.

Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until the center of the fish is opaque.

Serve in the parchment pocket.

Enjoy!
