Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet, melt the margarine or butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and translucent. Remove from heat.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked onions, bread crumbs, snipped parsley, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form the stuffing.
  4. Pat the trout dry and rub the inside of the cavities with salt.
  5. Stuff each trout with approximately 1/4 cup of the breadcrumb mixture, packing it gently into the cavity.
  6. Place the stuffed trout in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley or cherry tomatoes if desired, and serve immediately.

Note

Ensure the trout are cleaned and scaled properly before stuffing. If using frozen trout, thaw completely in the refrigerator overnight.

For added flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice to the stuffing mixture or place lemon slices on top of the fish before baking.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven to prevent drying out.

If fresh parsley is unavailable, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried parsley, but fresh provides a brighter flavor and better texture.
