Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Steelhead trout fillets (4 (6 ounce) fillets)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Lime juice (2 tablespoons, divided)
  • Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon, divided)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Avocado (1, diced)
  • Tomato (1, diced)
  • Red onion (1/4 cup, finely chopped)
  • Cilantro (2 tablespoons, finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
