Ingredients

  • 2 trouts - gutted and descaled
  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 baby tomatoes – sliced in half
  • 100 ml white wine
  • 2 tbsp parsley
  • 1 tsp vegetable stock powder
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 grapefruit
  • black pepper, salt - to taste
  • olive oil
  • 1 lemon - thin slices / wedges

Instructions

  • Grease an oven tray with oil or butter. Rinse the trout fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Sprinkle the fillets with vegetable stock powder or salt.
  • Place the fish on the tray and add chopped onion, garlic, sliced mushrooms, baby tomatoes, parsley, and thyme. Tuck a handful of herbs and couple of thin lemon slices inside the fish's belly, infusing it with an extra burst of flavor. Drizzle some olive oil and pour white wine over the ingredients.
  • Cover the tray with foil, ensuring there are openings on each side. Place it in the preheated oven at 200°C for approximately 15-20 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, remove the foil if you prefer a crispy skin on your fish.
  • Once cooked, transfer the fillets to a serving plate. Pour the cooking juices, along with the mushrooms and tomatoes, over the fillets. Finish by drizzling grapefruit juice over the dish.
