- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon white pepper or black pepper

Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the zest from the lemon, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, dill, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Stir to thoroughly mix.
- Spread the seasoning all over the top of the trout fillets. Use your hands to press it in.
- Spray the basket of your air fryer lightly with oil, then place the trout fillets in. Spray the tops with more oil. Air fry at 400ºF for 8-10 minutes. Ensure the thickest part of the fish reaches 145ºF with a probe thermometer.

Notes
- Feel free to use your favourite seasoning mix in place of the spices in this recipe.
- To bake in the oven, bake the seasoned trout at 400ºF for 10-15 minutes on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Store leftover trout fillets in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 400ºF for 3 minutes.
