How to Bake Rainbow Trout. This simple baked rainbow trout recipe is easy to prepare and full of flavor. Season the trout, wrap it in foil, and bake until cooked through. We love how tender and aromatic it turns out. My husband even caught these trout himself despite heavy snow on the river, which made the meal extra special.

Clean the rainbow trout, remove any scales or guts if needed, and pat the fish dry with paper towels.
