Ingredients
  • 1 kilo of trout fillet (skin on or off, pin bones removed)
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Fresh herbs (for garnish)
Preparations: 
  • Preheat the oven to 190°C, position a rack in the middle of the oven, and line a baking sheet with a large piece of foil. Spray it lightly with cooking spray.
  • To make the sauce, in a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  • Place the side of trout on the foil, and spoon the sauce over the top of the fish.
  • Fold the sides of the foil to cover and seal the foil packet, but not tightly so the top of the foil does not touch the sauce too much.
  • Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the thickest part of the fish is cooked through and can be easily flaked with a fork. The cooking time depends on the thickness of the fish.
  • Remove from the oven and carefully open the foil. Place under the grill for a couple of minutes to lightly brown the top, then allow to rest before slicing and serve with chopped parsley and lemon slices.
