Sheet-Pan Trout with Roasted Potatoes & Asparagus

Fresh trout roasts beautifully with asparagus and potatoes in a single pan. The potatoes come already steamed, so they get golden in the same time it takes for everything else to bake.  

What You Get

Herb butter

Steamed potatoes

Asparagus

Lemon

Trout 

What You’ll Need

Olive oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Makes 3 servings

Active Time: 15 minutes 

Total Time: 25 minutes 

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with foil. Remove the herb butter from the fridge and let it come to room temperature. 

Step 2

In a small bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Arrange over a third of the prepared pan. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the potatoes begin to crisp, 15 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, trim the asparagus, snapping off any woody ends. In the same bowl, toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with salt. Slice the lemon into wedges for serving. Remove the trout from the packaging and pat dry with paper towels. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt. 

Step 4

Add the asparagus and trout to the pan. Return the pan to the oven, and continue to roast until the trout flakes easily when pierced with a fork, 4 to 5 minutes longer. 

Step 5

Transfer the trout, potatoes, and asparagus to plates. Spread with the herb butter and grind with pepper. Serve warm, with the lemon wedges for squeezing.
