Captain Jim’s Favorite Baked Lake Ontario Trout or Salmon

Remove pin bones from fillets, either pull them out one by one or cut above and below and remove the entire section with the bones. Ask your crew for specific instructions. Also remove any remaining lateral line (dark meat on skin side of fillet) check for spinal bones on inside of fillets. Cut into serving size portions and rinse with fresh water.

Place sections into a glass baking dish loosely don’t over crowd. Sprinkle fillets liberally with Old Bay seasoning, sprinkle fillets liberally with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Lightly Sprinkle Garlic Powder. Take a real butter stick and cuts pats and place one on each portion. Preheat oven to 400 degrees .Bake for 6-8 minutes or until some browning of the fillets and butter takes place.

Remove dish from oven and carefully spoon the melted butter over each section. Return to oven until the internal temp of the thickest fillet is 145 degrees. Or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Approximately 6-8 minutes for a total cook time of 12-16 minutes. Cooking time varies greatly and depends on thickness of fillets. Use a meat thermometer and get it right.

Leftovers are even better. Take two slices of white bread, smear mayo on one and sweet pickle relish on the other. Put cold fillets on and you have a great sandwich. Also check out this salmon cake recipe on facebook
