This dish is based on the Mediterranean style and has soft baked trout with olives, fennel, and tomatoes. The mix of these ingredients makes a delicious seafood dish that goes well with any occasion because it has a nice balance of sour, salty, and fragrant flavors.
Ingredients: 2 whole trout, cleaned and gutted. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved. 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives. 1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced. 4 cloves garlic, minced. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 lemon, thinly sliced. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh parsley for garnish.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375F 190C. Season the trout inside and out with salt and pepper. In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, olives, fennel, garlic, and olive oil. Toss to coat. Stuff each trout cavity with lemon slices and half of the tomato mixture. Place the stuffed trout in a baking dish. Spread the remaining tomato mixture over the trout. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the trout is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
