Baked Brown Trout
Trout, freshly caught from the river, is a dependable dish
to have in Scottish restaurants, especially in the
Highlands. In this recipe the fish cooks in its own juices,
with baking foil keeping it moist. Quantities below are for
four people.
Ingredients:
Four half pound (250g) trout
4 tablespoons dry vermouth
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs of fresh herbs (dill, fennel, chives or parsley)
1 lemon
Method:
Clean the trout if required, remove the scales and fins and
wipe with kitchen paper. Season the inside of the trout with
salt and pepper and insert the herbs.
Cut four pieces of of kitchen foil into oval shapes which
are long enough to take the fish plus an extra 3" (7cm)
foil. Brush the foil with olive oil and place each trout in
the centre. Brush the outside of the fish with olive oil,
season with salt and pepper and pour a tablespoon of
vermouth over each fish. Pull the foil up to make a boat
shape for the fish and pleat over the top to totally enclose
the fish, making sure it is pinched together.
Place on a baking sheet and bake in a pre-heated oven at
450F (230C or Gas Mark 8) for 8 to 10 minutes. The time will
vary, depending on how plump the fish are. Check by opening
up foil and examining the flesh at the thickest part. There
should be no opaqueness or pinkness. The fish can be served
in the foil with fresh vegetables.
