Ingredients

2 x 170g skinless rainbow trout fillets (also works well with flounder or sole)
1 tsp salt
Juice of ½ lemon
2 tsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh oregano
¼ tsp salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Accompaniment

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut two rectangles of greaseproof paper or baking parchment, approximately 33cm x 38cm.

Wash the fish with salt and lemon juice, rinse under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

Place the fish on the sheets of paper (if you wish, set them on
some lemon slices). Drizzle each piece with olive oil, lemon juice and place a sprig each of thyme and oregano on top of each fillet. Season
with salt and pepper.

Seal the paper parcels by bringing together the two long sides of paper and folding them down as if folding a brown paper bag to close, then twist the ends of the packet like a sweet wrapper. Place on a baking dish and bake for 10 minutes, or longer if wished, until done to your liking.

Remove the fish from the paper to serve.
