Instructions

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the trout skin side down on it. Pat the fish dry using paper towels. Rub the trout lightly with the Old Bay Seasoning, then drizzle the olive oil over the top of the trout.
Place the lemon slices on top of the fresh trout, then add the minced parsley.
Sprinkle a pinch or two of salt, and then some freshly ground pepper over the fish.
Bake the seasoned fillets for around 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Add additional salt and pepper to taste if desired.

FAQ
You can use aluminum foil instead of parchment paper to lay the trout on for baking. Just be sure to coat it with a very small amount of olive oil to help prevent the fish from sticking.
