Trout Baked in Foil with Rosemary & Lemon
4 teaspoons olive oil
8 rosemary sprigs
4 trout
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 lemons, cut into thin rounds
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Cut 4 sheets of heavy-duty foil about 12-inches square. Spoon a teaspoon of
olive oil onto the dull side of each one and brush it evenly over the foil.
Place a sprig of rosemary in the cavity of each fish and salt and pepper
generously.
Lay each trout on a piece of foil and top with a 1/2 of the round slices of
lemon and another sprig of rosemary. Fold the foil loosely over the fish and
crimp the edges together tightly. Place the packets on a baking sheet or in a
baking dish and bake for 20 minutes, until the fish flakes easily when pierced
with a fork.
Remove from the heat. Slit the packets across the top and serve the fish in the
foil. Guests should transfer their fish to their plates and pour the juices in
the foil over the fish. Serve with the extra round slices of lemon.
