Baked fish is my go-to recipe for busy weeknights! We try to eat fish at least once a week.  Not only it’s easy to make but is an excellent source of protein, niacin, vitamin B12, and omega 3 fatty acids.

It’s a great choice for a healthy diet and is very light for your digestion!

We love seafood recipes, maybe even too much! From our Easy Shrimp Tacos, Shrimp Scampi, Mediterranean Salmon Salad to our 2-minute Air Fryer Tuna Steak. You should try these, you gonna love it!

How To Make Baked Trout

The trout and the sweet honey soy glaze is crazy delicious, try it for yourself!

First time I tried a similar meal in one of the coziest restaurants in Baku, Azerbaijan. It was an Asian restaurant with hints of European cuisine and I absolutely fell in love with it.

I know, this is a super popular sauce/glaze recipe but I discovered it quite late and in a place, I wouldn’t have imagined trying.

This recipe has been always on my mind but I never actually remembered to make it.

But okay, enough of me rambling how good it is, let's get into it!

Instructions

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 400F. 

STEP 2 - Prepare the sauce.

In a jar or a small bowl mix together dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil. 

Check out my Honey Mustard Soy Sauce Recipe here.

STEP 2 - Prepare the fish

Season the fillets generously with salt and pepper.

Arrange the fillets into foil packet greased with olive oil before. Pour the honey mustard mixture over the trout fillets. Brush the tops of the fillets with honey mustard mixture, close the foil packet and transfer to oven.  

STEP 3 - Bake the fillets

Place foil packets of fish onto a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, checking one fillet after 10 minutes. The flesh should pull apart easily with a fork. 

STEP 4 

Remove the baked trout from the oven. Add any remaining sauce over the fillets, sprinkle with mixed sesame seeds and garnish with parsley. 

Serve with lemon slices, a good mashed potato recipe and your choice of veggies.

Notes.

Baking. Depending on your oven and the size of your trout you may need to adjust the cooking time. 

Storage. Cooked trout will last 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Just make sure to let the fillets properly cool and place in an airtight container. Close and store in the fridge.

You can also freeze cooked trout. Place completely cooled trout in a covered airtight container or heavy-duty freezer bag. It should be consumed up to 3-4 months.

Honey Mustard Glaze - in this recipe I’ve made sauce for the whole trout but if you just using 4-5 fillets divide the sauce ingredients into half.

Tips For Making The Best Baked Trout With Honey Mustard Glaze

• Make the sauce in advance. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Leftover sauce can be consumed cold or warm and used in a variety of sandwiches (with ham-definitely a winner), wraps, and salads.
• Zucchini, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower are the best vegetable choice to pair with trout. 
• If you don’t have fresh trout you can use frozen, just make sure to pat it dry to remove any excess water before cooking.
• Don’t skip the foil. Baking trout in foil packets helps the fish cook perfectly tender. While the fish fillets bake, the sauce coats the fish nicely, and all the juices are formed at the bottom of the packet.

Serving Suggestions

Want to make it a meal? We love serving our baked fish with these:

• Grains - with a side of grains such as cooked rice, lime cilantro rice or quinoa or cauliflower rice.
• Side Salad - for more veggies in this dish, we like to serve trout with Greek Style Salad, Chopped Cabbage Salad, Potato Salad, or Chickpea Salad.
• Leftovers - for any leftover fish, you can break it down into bite-size pieces and serve in Fish Tacos with a colorful Mexican slaw. Or serve it in creamy risotto.
• With Roasted or steamed veggies - sauteed Asparagus, roasted air fryer Brussels Sprouts, Zucchini Boats or Fries.

Baked Trout With Honey Mustard and Soy Sauce Glaze Variations 

• Salmon, baked chicken, chicken wings, or seabass is a perfect substitute to trout and go well with honey mustard soy sauce.
• Add some very thinly sliced or minced garlic to the trout fillets before baking.
• Add pineapple for a more exotic finish! Yum!
• Add finely chopped onion just 5 minutes before the timer rings.
• Add some chili flakes to make it spicy
