    Toss bread crumbs with the onion, dill, lemon zest, garlic, and 1/2 of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Press the stuffing into the trout, then brush with the remaining olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place the trout on the prepared baking sheet.

    Roast in the preheated oven until the skin starts to brown and the flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.
