Rainbow trout filled with fresh herbs



A lot of people are intimidated by the thought of cooking a meal form a whole fish, with the head and everything still on. I know I was! But my mum taught me that if you have a good fish, it really doesn't have to be very complicated. So we went to the fish market this Easter holiday and got some beautiful fresh rainbow trout. It's a pretty cheap fish with white meat, and very tasty in itself which means you don't really have to do a whole lot to it to make it taste like heaven. 


All you need to make my herb filled rainbow trout is:
4 rainbow trouts
1 lemon
1 hand full of fresh thyme
1 handful of fresh rosemary
1 handful of fresh basil
butter
salt and pepper

The how is just as simple:
Put the oven to 200 degrees.
Put the fish in tin foil in an oven safe dish.
Season with salt and pepper and fill the fish with butter, herbs and a wedge of lemon.
Close the tin foil around the fish to make it a little package, and put in to the oven for about 20  minutes. 
Serve directly with a nice salad and (Swedish) new potatoes!
