1. Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (200°C). Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels. Set aside on a baking sheet lined with foil for easy cleanup.
2. Marinate
In a small bowl, combine the microplaned garlic, lemon zest, softened butter, minced parsley, chili flakes, and minced anchovy fillets to create the anchovy garlic butter. Mix until well combined. Gently spread the anchovy garlic butter over the trout fillets, ensuring an even coating.
3. Bake
Place the trout fillets in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Look for the trout to flake easily with a fork, and the flesh to appear opaque, indicating it is cooked through.
4. Finishing
Remove the baked trout from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges, encouraging guests to squeeze the juice over the fish to add brightness and acidity.
