1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
2 Place trout in the prepared baking dish and coat with remaining olive oil. Gather the seasoning ingredients.
3 Season inside and outside of fish with dill, thyme, and salt. Stuff each fish with onion slices; grind pepper on top. Place 1 lemon slice on each fish.
4 Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; add 2 tablespoons hot water to the dish (cold water could cause the dish to crack) to prevent the fish from drying out. Continue baking until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes more.
5 Serve hot and enjoy!
