Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350F).
Place the Trout fillet (or Salmon) on a baking tray.
In a glass jug or microwaveable bowl, melt the butter in the microwave.
Add the lemon juice, parsley, dill, garlic, a pinch of salt and a little freshly cracked black pepper to the melted butter. Stir to combine.
Using a fork, poke a few holes along the length of the fillet and then pour the sauce over the fillet. Some of the sauce will run off – you can try and collect the excess sauce and spoon over the fillet again. The little holes you made with the fork will help absorb the sauce.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the fish has cooked through (the fish should be a solid pink and not translucent). Be careful not to overcook.
Garnish with a slice of lemon and extra parsley. Serve with rice, mashed potato or baked potatoes.
