Ingredients for Sheet-pan Old Bay trout and succotash
2 whole butterflied trout (about 340 g each), heads removed
10 ml Old Bay seasoning
45 g unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, divided
1 lemon, thinly sliced
450 g corn, kernels cut from cobs
170 g green beans, cut into 2.5 cm pieces
1 large tomato, cut into 2.5 cm pieces
5 ml sea salt
180 ml mayonnaise
60 ml fresh lemon juice
2.5 ml freshly ground black pepper
How to make Sheet-pan Old Bay trout and succotash
Arrange a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 230°C (fan 210°C).
Line a 46 x 33 cm rimmed baking tray with foil.
Lay the trout open like a book, skin side down, alternating head-to-tail on one half of the tray. Sprinkle the flesh with Old Bay seasoning, then dot with half of the butter. Arrange lemon slices over the trout.
Drape a long piece of foil (about 75 cm) crosswise over the other half of the tray.
Toss together the corn, green beans, tomato, salt, and remaining butter on the foil. Fold the edges up and over to create a packet, then pinch the edges closed.
Roast in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the trout is opaque and cooked through. Check the thickest part of the flesh; if needed, lift a lemon slice to examine it, and continue roasting until it is completely opaque.
While the fish is cooking, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
Divide the trout and succotash among plates and serve with the mayonnaise sauce alongside.
