Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Make a bed of fennel in the middle of a large rectangle of baking paper. Sit the fish on top, then stuff with the rest of fennel, half the tarragon and the shallot. Top with the lemon slices and scatter the mushrooms and remaining tarragon over. Dot with butter and pour over the wine. Fold up the paper to enclose, put in a roasting tin and bake for 30 minutes.

Choosing the best fish

Make sure trout is spanking fresh - firm-fleshed, bright-eyed and red around the gills.

    I agree! Very moist and flavoursome, light and summery and probably super-healthy. My housemates were making envious noises while this was cooking!
