Baked trout with white wine and fennel

Cooking in a tin-foil parcel is probably the best of many ways to cook trout as it retains its flavour and stays moist and tasty.

• ½ lemon or lime, sliced thinly
• handful of button mushrooms, brushed clean and halved
• 1 whole trout, cleaned and gutted
• 1 fennel bulb, sliced finely

Method

1. Make a bed of half of the sliced fennel in the middle of a large rectangle of tin foil or baking paper

3. Top with the lemon or lime slices and scatter the mushrooms around

6. Place in a baking tray and bake for 30 minutes

Chef's note

Check the fish is thoroughly cooked before you start to dish up the accompaniments. I normally find 30 minutes is normally plenty of time to cook fish in this manner, but this time it needed another 10 minutes. Maybe the onions and fennel increase the required cooking time. Perhaps someone else can comment if they make this dish. --Chef 05:01, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
