Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Brush a foil lined baking sheet with olive oil. Drain fish, pat dry and place onto the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, Old Bay and Cajun seasoning; set aside.
- Mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil with melted butter. Brush trout with the half of the olive oil butter blend, reserving the remainder. Sprinkle seasoning mixture evenly on top.
- Use a microplane to zest lemon on top of the fish and bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F for approximately 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until fish is mostly opaque throughout and flakes easily, taking care not to overcook.
- Test in the thickest part of the fillet with the tip of a sharp knife. Actual time will be dependent on the size and thickness of the fillets.
- Drizzle reserved butter mixture on top of each fillet, sprinkle with green onion and parsley; serve immediately.

BAKED FRESH RAINBOW TROUT
Very easy and tasty recipe I invented one day with ingredients on hand, for fresh rainbow trout (farmed or wild) that my family loves. It takes very little time and is much lighter than ocean fish. I use whole fish you can buy already gutted from the supermarket, with heads and tails still on. Make sure you pick trout that are really, really fresh. I find the dish doesn't even need lemon slices but you can use them if you like. The key is to remember to add the water to the dish as instructed in directions, which keeps fish from drying out. Serve with rice and veggies. Light and delicious. Be careful of bones! Make sure to add hot water to the dish; cold water can crack the baking dish.

Tips:
- Select the freshest speckled trout: Look for fish with bright, clear eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, briny scent.
- Properly clean and prepare the fish: Remove the scales, fins, and entrails. Rinse the fish thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Generously season the fish: Use a combination of Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to coat the fish inside and out. This will enhance the flavor and create a crispy crust.
- Use high-quality butter: Unsalted butter is the best choice for this recipe, as it allows you to control the amount of salt in the dish.
- Cook the fish at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and prevent the fish from becoming dry.
- Be careful not to overcook the fish: Speckled trout is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the fish immediately: Baked cajun speckled trout is best enjoyed hot out of the oven. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or a salad.
