3. Cooking Frozen Trout (Yes, Straight From Freezer)
You can cook it frozen, but defrosting helps for even cooking. If you want to cook directly:
Oven-Baked (from frozen)
1.Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
2.Place trout fillet or whole fish on a baking sheet with foil/parchment
3.Drizzle with olive oil, season (salt, pepper, lemon, dill, garlic powder)
4.Cover loosely with foil for the first 15 mins, then uncover to finish
5.Bake 25–30 mins total (fillet) or 35–40 mins (whole) until internal temp hits 145°F (63°C)
Pan-Sear (better if thawed slightly)
1.Defrost trout partially under cold running water (still firm but not rock hard)
2.Pat dry, season with salt, pepper, and herbs
3.Sear skin-side down in hot skillet with oil for 4–5 mins, then flip for 2–3 more mins
Air Fryer
1.Preheat to 375°F
2.Brush fish with olive oil + season
3.Air fry 10–12 mins (fillet) or 15–18 mins (whole), flipping halfway if needed
