Trout en Papillote

by Mat Follas from Fish: Delicious Recipes For Fish & Shellfish (Ryland, Peters & Small)

Serves 4

Prep time:听 10 mins

Cooking time: 35 mins

Ingredients

600g/1录 lbs new potatoes, cut in half

1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced into 15-20 slices

1 lemon, thinly sliced into 15-20 slices

Vegetable oil to drizzle

1 tsp salt

4 whole trout (each about 450g / 1lb), gutted

2 limes, cut into 8 wedges

2 lemon grass stalks, thinly sliced

a 7.5cm/3鈥 piece of fresh ginger, peeled & thinly sliced across the grain

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.

Boil the potatoes in pan of salted water for 10-15 mins until just soft.

Meanwhile, stuff the cavity of each of the fish with equal amounts of lime, lemon grass & ginger.听 Roll the fish in baking parchment, tucking the parchment around the ends of the fish.

Arrange the sliced fennel & lemon & the boiled potatoes in a deep, ovenproof dish.听 Drizzle with oil & the salt & toss to combine.听 Roast in the preheated oven for 20 mins.

Place the fish parcels in the oven on top of the potato mixture & bake for 20 mins.听 Check the temperature of the fish by using a meat thermometer before removing from the oven, it should be 60C (170F) at the thickest part.

Serve the trout on top of the potato, lemon & fennel mixture in its wrapping.听 Carefully unwrap the fish at the table, releasing the wonderful aromas & allowing any juice to soak into the vegetables beneath.
