I couldn't find a whole fish at the store so I bought a couple of steelhead trout fillets. After making the "stuffing" I spread half of it in my baking dish, placed the fillets on top, and spread the other half of the "stuffing" on top of the fish. Okay I didn't actually "stuff" my fish as directed but this turned out fantastic. The fish was a lovely and the "stuffing" was so full of flavor. It had a nice crunchy top. I will have to try this again when they have whole fish at the store. Thanks for a great meal!

Made as written for ZWT6 Zingo & another great trout recipe joins our faves. I used trout caught in the highland lakes by DH last nite, filleted by him this morning & then de-boned + baked by me tonite. I doubt you can get much fresher than that. I used my pastry brush to lightly brush olive oil on the skin surfaces & sprinkled them w/lemon pepper as a pers pref. The stuffing is perfect for the delicate flavor of the trout & the cook time spot-on to deliver a flakey, moist outcome. Really enjoyed making & eating this delicious recipe. Thx for sharing it w/us. :-)
