Ingredients
3-4 trout fillets, about 6 ounces each
1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Prepare the trout fillets: In a small bowl, mix together the lemon zest, minced garlic, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly onto both sides of each trout fillet. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and half of the lemon juice. Set aside.
Bake the trout fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and flake easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
While the trout is baking, prepare the cauliflower rice: Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they reach a rice-like consistency. You might need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the food processor.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender and slightly golden. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir in the remaining lemon juice.
To serve, divide the cauliflower rice among four plates, top with a baked trout fillet, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy your low-carb, high-protein meal!
