Total Time: 50 mins

Ingredients

  • a handful of fresh dill, finely chopped
  • a handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • a handful of fresh thyme, finely chopped, plus extra to garnish

  • 1 whole trout (about 1,4kg)
  • 2 lemons, sliced

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 230°C.

Combine the herbs and spring onions with a drizzle of olive oil in a bowl. Stuff the belly of the trout with the herbs and a few lemon slices. Cover the head and tail of the trout with oiled foil to prevent charring. Roast for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 5 minutes.
