The trout can be served as they are with your favourite seasonal vegetables, but for an added extra touch, peel away the top layer of skin and grate over fresh horseradish before serving.

LEMON BUTTER HERB BAKED TROUT

Steps:

• HEAT OVEN TO 400F/204C. Prepare a pan lined with parchment or foil sprayed with oil.

Using a sharp knife, cut slits horizontally every 2 inches on each fillet (about 3-4 slits per fillet). Stuff half of mixed herbs into slits. Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper. Drizzle HALF of butter oil mixture (about 2 tbsp) and the lemon juice over trout .
• BAKE TROUT: for 9-11 minutes, depending on thickness of fillets, or until cooked. Ideally, trout will be moist and warm pink - not dry, pale and flaky.
• FINISH AND SERVE: Sprinkle remaining herbs and lemon zest over top of fillets. Drizzle on remaining 2 tbsp butter-oil mixture. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt or kosher salt. To serve: To serve without skin, slip spatula between flesh and skin, then lift up. I cut trout into portions first (just down to the skin) to make this easier. Serve immediately.
