Trout is a healthy source of protein, low in calories and high in omega 3 and vitamin D. A quick and easy way to cook a side of trout is to bake it in the oven – it’s a great way to feed a crowd and takes away the fuss of cooking on the stove. Cooking the trout in foil traps in all the moisture to stop the fish from drying out and locks in the flavour. You could also choose to leave the fish whole, but baking a single side enables you to remove any bones before cooking.
