Trout Fillet baked with herbs


This recipe I'm going to share with you has just come about on this very wet, cold miserable morning in Cumbria!

And the reason being is I've just got off the phone from a good friend of mine, Gilbert from Gilcrux Trout Fishery in Aspatria, Cumbria, to cut a long story short, one of his usual customers who take 100 Trout a week was flooded in the recent deluge and is still closed, so he's an abundance of beautiful trout!!


" Can you help me out Jon?"


Of course


Luckily I love trout, and this is a great way of cooking it,
