Ingredients:
- 2 rainbow trout fillets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 sheets heavy-duty aluminum foil
- 1 fresh jalapeño pepper, sliced
- 1 lemon, sliced
Step-by-Step Directions:
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2:
Prepare two large sheets of aluminum foil and drizzle olive oil over the center of each sheet.

Season both sides of the trout fillets with garlic salt and black pepper. Place each fillet onto the prepared foil sheets.
Step 4:
Top each fillet with sliced jalapeños and lemon slices for added flavor.
