Rainbow Trout Baked in Foil With Tomatoes, Garlic and Thyme Recipe (2024)

Nice, fast weeknight meal. Not substantially different from any of the 100s of other fish en papillote recipes I've seen. This is more of a 'particular example of a general paradigm', than a recipe in its own right. "Wrap fish with salt, oil, aromatics, and a little liquid. bake until done."

This is improved with fire roasted salsa instead of tomatoes. Low in calories too.

Delicious week night meal. I didn't make the tomato mixture but instead sprinkled some minced garlic on the fish and then put sliced tomatoes (seeds and peel!) on top. I placed a sprig of rosemary (as that is what we had in the garden) on top. It turned out perfectly.

this is an easy, delicious recipe that really dresses up a simple dish and also works for an easy dinner when having guests.

What marvelous fish! Used some flavored oil I had and fresh rosemary; because I had one big piece of trout it needed to cook for longer, but it was so so very good.

I had a very high quality fish and the recipe over powered it. If I had to do it again I would cook the fish with just a little salt and pepper and prepare the tomatoes separately. Although the tomatoes came straight from my garden so I might just eat those fresh without anything else.

I prepared it using Black Sea bass. It was fast, easy and delicious.

Easy, fast, and delicious. I de-boned the trout, which made it a lot easier to serve/eat

Quick and easy. Liked suggestion to open up the foil for the last five minutes to dry it out a bit, the tomatoes were extra juicy. I over did it on the thyme and will be less exuberant next time. Roasted asparagus and serve with wild rice. Super quick cleanup!

Made this for my family, we all loved it. Nice dish that comes together pretty quickly.

Great, easy meal! I don't think the tomatoes do not need to be peeled or seeded, and I added in a bunch more garlic since we're big garlic folks. I've made this twice, the first time with rainbow trout and the second time with branzino, and highly recommend the latter instead--the taste with the (very fresh!) rainbow trout I got was not quite right. Branzino was definitely a better pairing, just make sure you do a longer cook time since they're larger fish.

Delicious, easy and healthy. There's absolutely no need to skin and seed the tomatoes.

We liked this. I love fish, husband not so much. He’ll eat fish if cooked enough and not wet. I made by the recipe, except used fillets. I agree with some that garlic was a bit much, didn’t have time to cook and mellow, tasted too raw. Hubby thought was fine, masked the fish?? But when I checked it at about 12 minutes it was way too wet/rare for husband. I pulled foil back and put under broiler (not too close) for a couple minutes. Everybody was happy

It is not clear from the wording whether the trout should be whole. It certainly looks like the tail is still on. I have never seen boneless whole trout and do not have the skills to remove the bones before cooking. We removed the heads and prepared this with the fish complete with bones. It was delicious.

I love this recipe. I have recently gotten big into trout and find it super buttery if cooked right. Tonight was my best attempt yet. Thank you NYT Cooking!

Was superb! The only change was that I added rosemary in addition to the called for thyme. Definitely will be a repeat entree'.

It was so delicious. I used fillets instead boned fish. I add 2 more clove of garlic, red pepper flakes, thyme leaves (I separated he leaves of the stem), to the tomates mix. I used some leftovers of peeled tomatoes from my refrigerator.

Delish and easy

I used cherry tomatoes fresh from the garden quartering or cutting in half depending on the size with no need to peel or seed with great results. I also used non-stick foil eliminating the need for excess oil only using a light drizzle in the pocket before folding over to cook.

-Don't worry too much about cutting the foil--just wrap around-Fish will likely crumble when served-Cooked alongside kale sauce pasta and apple salad

I love this dish. So easy and delicious. I added spinach to the top of the foils and it steamed deliciously. I also added a 1/2 of a limes juice to the tomato mixture. I used halibut and it needed about 20 minutes to cook.
