Ingredients

• 2 whole trout (cleaned and butterflied)
• 200 grams raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 100 grams breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 4 slices lemon slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the shrimp just turn pink. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a large bowl.

Step 4

Add the parsley, lemon juice, breadcrumbs, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the shrimp mixture. Stir well to combine. This is your stuffing mixture.

Step 5

Open each butterflied trout and season the inside lightly with salt and pepper. Evenly distribute the stuffing mixture between the two trout, pressing gently to secure the filling.

Step 6

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the outside of the trout, then brush the melted butter over the stuffed fish for additional flavor.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the stuffed trout to the baking sheet. Top each trout with 2 lemon slices for added flavor and moisture during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the trout is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
