    Trout is a great fish to try because it's quick and easy to cook. It also has plenty of flavours and a nice texture.

    Method

    • Step-by-Step Method for Baked Trout with Almonds
    • Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or 400°F
    • Lightly grease a baking tray or line with parchment using a little olive oil
    • Pat trout fillets dry with paper towel and set aside
    • Combine red pepper and tomatoes in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar
    • Place trout fillets, skin-side down, on the prepared tray
    • Scatter chopped red pepper and tomato mixture evenly around the trout
    • Season both trout fillets lightly with a pinch of sea salt (within sodium allowance)
    • Drizzle an additional small amount of olive oil over the trout fillets if desired
    • Sprinkle flaked almonds evenly over the top of each trout fillet
    • Bake in the oven for 15–18 minutes, until the trout is opaque and almonds are lightly golden
    • Check doneness: trout should flake easily with a fork and vegetables should be tender
    • Remove tray from oven and let rest for 2 minutes
    • Using a wide spatula, carefully transfer trout fillets to warm serving plates
    • Spoon roasted red pepper and tomato mixture alongside the trout
    • Add lemon wedges to plate for squeezing over fish just before eating
    • Arrange a handful of rocket salad on each plate for freshness and color contrast
    • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor
