Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse trout fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Arrange trout fillets skin-side down in a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking dish.
Drizzle olive oil evenly over each fillet.
Sprinkle minced garlic, salt, and black pepper over the fish.
Place lemon slices on top of each fillet and evenly scatter chopped fresh dill.
Bake trout for 18-20 minutes, until fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque.
Let the fish rest for 2 minutes after removing from the oven.
Serve warm with optional lemon wedges alongside steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
