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.
