- Juice of ½ lemon
- 4 fresh thyme sprigs
- 8 thin rashers (strips) rindless streaky bacon
- Salt and ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped, to garnish
- Lemon wedges, to serve
- Butter, for greasing
Instructions:
- Squeeze lemon juice over the skin and inside the cavity of each fish, season all over with salt and ground black pepper, then put a thyme sprig in each cavity.
- Stretch each bacon rasher using the back of a knife, then wrap two rashers around each fish.
- Place the fish in a shallow ovenproof dish, lightly greased with butter, with the loose ends of bacon tucked underneath to prevent them from unwinding.
- Bake the trout for 15-20 minutes in an oven at 200C, until the flesh flakes easily tested with the point of a sharp knife and the bacon is crisp an beginning to brown.
- Transfer the fish to warmed individual plates and serve immediately garnished with chopped parsley and sprigs of thyme and accompanied by lemon wedges.
