(Redirected from Baked trout with white wine and fennel recipe)
Cooking in a tin-foil parcel is probably the best of many ways to cook trout as it retains its flavour and stays moist and tasty.

Chef's note
Check the fish is thoroughly cooked before you start to dish up the accompaniments. I normally find 30 minutes is normally plenty of time to cook fish in this manner, but this time it needed another 10 minutes. Maybe the onions and fennel increase the required cooking time. Perhaps someone else can comment if they make this dish. --Chef 05:01, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
