Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F
Sprinkle inside of fish with salt and add garlic
1 whole trout, pinch salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic
Fill with sliced lemons and fresh sage and cubes of butter
1 teaspoon butter, ½ lemon, 4 fresh sage leaves
Wrap fish in foil and seal ends. Place on a baking sheet
Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes until fish is cooked through
Notes
Other fresh herbs can be used in place of the sage. Use parsley, dill, or basil.
Baking time will vary because the size of each fish will vary. For smaller fish, check at about 15 minutes.
To test the fish, open the foil and gently twist a fork in the center. If the fish flakes, it's done. You can do this through the top right through the skin, or in the center of the cavity.
Use caution when eating, a few bones may still remain
Serve with fresh lemon
See pictures in the post for directions on how to fillet and remove bones before serving
