Baked Trout with Orange, low in calories
This great recipe was given to my mum by a friend. It is super quick as it takes only minutes to put together so it is ideal when you are tired after work or if you just don't want to spend too much time in the kitchen.
Buy trout fillets to make life easier instead of whole trout. All you do is squeezing an orange over the fillets then sprinkling over parmesan, breadcrumbs and a dash olive oil. You won't know parmesan is there as it just adds lightly to the flavour.
Trout and orange are a fabulous combination just make sure you don't overcook the fillets and be generous with orange juice as it gives a fantastic flavour to the fish!
Serve with salad, rustic bread or cus-cus, steamed rice, potatoes or quinoa.
I have made this so many times. If you make it please let me know what you think!
- Prep Time : 10 minutes
- Cook Time : 15 minutes
Ingredients
- trout fillets - 4 ( about 200 g / 7 oz each)
- oranges - 2
- salt and pepper
- grated Parmesan cheese - 4 tbsp
- breadcrumbs - 4 tbsp
- olive oil
Instructions
Line your fillets on your baking tray over a sheet of baking paper, season with salt and pepper and squeeze the juice of one orange over them.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and then with the breadcrumbs; finish off with a drizzle of olive oil.
Slice the other orange and put some slices on the fillets (optional).
Put it in the oven at 190C - 370F and bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden on top.
Your fillets will be tender, juicy and of an exceptional delicate flavour!
Buon Appetito!
This is a cheap recipe made with a few ingredients I had in my fridge so I am entering it to "No Waste Food Challenge" hosted by Elizabeth.

Dear Alida,
They say “simplicity” is the best. I think that is so true and your recipe proves that. Fabulous fish, looks beautiful. Especially now that Lent is upon us this fish dish is perfect for a Friday night or any night’s dinner. Love the fresh orange juice on top with the cheese and breadcrumbs. The flavor must be very refreshing…thank you for sharing this one dear friend…a must make on my list. Have a great rest of the day.

I love oily fish with orange. This has reminded me of a lovely recipe that I haven’t made for ages. Must dig it out! Thanks for the inspiration….
Dear Alida, It looks delicious and healthy too. xoxo Catherine

Oh I am so pleased you tried it! I wanted to post it on the blog ages ago but never did. I need to get more of my mums recipes as they are always the ones that work best. Ciao!
A lovely easy recipe that looks like I have taken a lot of trouble to prepare, but no, simplicity itself. Delicious.
Every time I buy trout fillets I make this one. I am very pleased you like it, it really is one of the easiest recipes I know!
I love trout, and I love your simple recipe to cook it! Fantastic! Thank you for sharing with the no waste food challenge, and apologies for taking so long to comment!

Hi Alida
Could I use salmon fillets instead
Hi Gina,
Sure they will work just as well.
This has become one of those recipes that we repeat time and again. Very easy and delicious!
