Oven-Roasted Trout with Citrus Green Beans
Trout doesn’t get the credit it deserves. It’s tender and rich in flavour. Adding trimmed green beans right to the pan makes this a one pot meal that can be enjoyed at home or at the lake.

Oven-Roasted Trout with Citrus Green Beans
Ingredients
- 1 whole trout, dressed (about 1¼ lb/0.625 kg)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 1 tbsp salted butter, divided
- 1 1/2 cups sliced trimmed green beans (1 inch)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Season trout and cavity with salt and pepper. Dredge trout in flour; shake off excess.
- Heat oil and 1/2 tbsp butter in an oven-safe large frypan over medium heat. Sear trout until bottom is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip trout and transfer pan to oven. Bake for 8 minutes. Flip trout and continue to bake until trout flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from oven. Using tongs, open trout cavity and pull out bones.
- Return trout to pan and return pan to medium heat. Add remaining butter and stir until melted. Add green beans and sauté until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Stir in parsley and lemon juice.
