Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Put the carrots and celery in a pan with the oil, sugar, wine, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, tightly cover, then cook for 10 mins until the vegetables are tender. Cool.
  2. Cut four large sheets of baking parchment, about 35cm square. Divide the vegetables between them and top each with a trout fillet. Scatter a few basil leaves and a little lemon juice over each, then season the fish with a little salt and pepper. Fold the paper in half and double fold all round to seal in the fish, a bit like a pasty.
  3. Put the parcels on two baking sheets and bake for 15-20 mins (depending on the thickness of the fish). Serve in their paper with some steamed new potatoes.

    This is much tastier than it looks. I servedwith new potatoes as recommended but I would serve with rice and/or bread next time as there was lots of lovely juice in the bottle of each parcel that needed something to soak it up.

    Very nice - I served it with steamed new potatoes and the spinach with brown butter and capers recipe from this site too... Went together very nicely :)

    Meh. Tried this one and it's very bland. Try Gordon Ramsey's recipe for Lemon sole en papillote instead.

    Maybe I prepared it wrong, but I didn't like this much. The veggies tasted too much of vinegar and the fish was a bit bland. I wouldn't make this again.

    Haven't made this yet, but could it be that the ingredient is meant to be white wine, not white wine vinegar? Can't see the point of the lemon juice if used with wine vinegar...

    cinemike..I have the magazine and it is white wine...not white wine vinegar...typo on the online recipe? Tried it tonight and love it but carrot and celery could do with a bit longer simmering.
