Ingredients for 6
  • 12 trout fillets
  • 500 g mixed wild mushrooms
  • 75 g butter
  • 2 lemons
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preparation
  • Preparation time: 30 minutes
  • Cooking time: 25 minutes

Have your fishmonger prepare 12 trout fillets (2 per person).

Clean the mushrooms: sort, rinse quickly under running water, and gently squeeze dry.

In a non-stick pan, melt 30 g butter and sauté mushrooms over high heat for 5 minutes until water releases. Drain, return to pan with 20 g more butter; season with salt and pepper.

Preheat oven to 180°C (gas mark 6).

Cut 12 aluminum foil rectangles. Place a seasoned trout fillet on each, top with mushrooms and a butter knob. Seal packets. Bake 15 minutes.

Wash lemons; slice into 12 pieces.

Serve in foil packets to preserve heat and aromas, with a lemon slice atop each fillet.
