Baked Trout with Lemon-Oil and Flat-Leaf Parsley

Ingredients for 4

Trout – 4 whole fish (250-300g/8-10 oz each)
2 tablespoons Lemon olive oil
A bunch of Flat-leaf parsley
2 Garlic cloves, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas mark 5/375°F. Wash and gut the fish. Chop up the parsley. Place each fish on a piece of aluminium foil. Stuff some parsley in each one with some chopped garlic and lemon oil. Then sprinkle an equal amount of the parsley / garlic / lemon oil combo over the top. Add a goodly dose of salt and pepper.

Wrap up each one carefully in the foil, making sure that there is air inside and the foil isn’t touching the fish at the top. Place on a baking tray and pop in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Goes nicely with a fava bean salad, or new potatoes. Or both.
