Ingredients

  • 2 Smoked trout Filets

For the Vegetables

  • 1 medium-sized butternut squash, peeled, deseeded, and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 ears of corn, husks and silks removed, kernels sliced off
  • 1 small zucchini quartered and sliced
  • 1 small summer squash quartered and sliced
  • 2 beets cut into ½-inch chunks 
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 Large Red Onion chopped onto 1-inch pieces 
  • 8-10 Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon each fresh rosemary and thyme finely chopped
  • Zest from one lemon 
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

For the Dressing

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions

    Preparing the Vegetables

    1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and take the trout out of the fridge to allow it to come to room temperature.
    2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, chopped herbs and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper.
    3. Add in all the chopped vegetables and toss until they're evenly seasoned.
    4. Spread the vegetable mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. You may need to use 2 trays depending on the size of them.
    5. Roast for about 20-30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Turn the vegetables once halfway through to ensure even cooking.

    Prepare the Dressing

    1. While the vegetable are cooking, mix olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, and dill in a small jar. Season with salt and pepper to taste and then shake well

    Assembly:

    1. Once the vegetables are done, divide them on individual plates or server on a large platter.
    2. Place the smoked trout fillets atop the vegetables. The heat from the veggies will warm the trout just enough to release all the flavor.
    3. Drizzle the veggies and trout generously with the herb dressing just before serving. Enjoy .
