01 Step
Recipe View
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Rinse the trout fillets under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Lightly rub each fillet with olive oil, ensuring even coverage. Season generously with garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper. (3 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Place each fillet on a separate sheet of aluminum foil. Arrange jalapeno slices evenly over the fillets. (3 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Squeeze a generous amount of fresh lemon juice over each fillet. Layer the remaining lemon slices on top, creating a citrusy canopy. (2 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Carefully fold the foil over each fillet, creating a sealed packet by crimping the edges tightly. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent steam from escaping. (5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven. (1 minute)
08 Step
Recipe View
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets. (20 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the packets rest for a couple of minutes before opening, as steam will escape. (2 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View
Serve the fish directly in the foil packets to retain moisture and warmth. Be cautious of hot steam when opening.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprig of fresh dill or thyme to each packet before sealing.
If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno before slicing.
Feel free to substitute the trout with other white fish fillets like cod, snapper, or sea bass. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
These foil packets can also be prepared on a grill. Grill over medium heat for approximately the same cooking time as oven baking.
To prevent the fish from sticking to the foil, lightly spray the foil with cooking spray before placing the fillets.

May 21, 2025I've made this several times now, and it's always a hit. I sometimes add a splash of white wine to the packets for extra flavor.

May 6, 2022The jalapeno adds a nice kick, but next time I'll use less for my family. Great recipe overall!
