1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Finely chop the bacon, then mix together with the thyme, lemon zest and breadcrumbs. Place the fish fillets in a lightly oiled baking dish, then sprinkle a quarter of the breadcrumb mixture over each fillet.
2. Arrange the lemon wedges around the fish and drizzle with the oil. Roast the fish for 8-10 mins until it is cooked through, flakes easily and the topping is golden. Serve with steamed veg and boiled new potatoes.

Good value

Rainbow trout is always great value. If you can't find it where you shop, you can easily substitute a salmon or sea trout fillet instead.

  Enjoyed this very much, easy to prepare. I finished it off under the grill for 3 mins. to crisp up the topping which definatly improved it

  we got some trout in at work for the first time i was asked to come up with an idea for it so i cam on here and filleting fish is easy enough so i thought i would try this out of the 11 servings i sent out i got compliments 7 times and now this has a regular apperance on our specials bored i give it 10/10 (it also got me a pay rise) New potatoes with beans & cress compliments this dish and you can also you the dressing for your fish as well try it

  Quick and very easy to make but it wasn't a hit with me. Wouldn't be in a rush to make it again, would find a different recipe instead when using trout.
