Fish in Foil

Name: Fish in Foil
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided; 2 whole rainbow trout, gutted and cleaned, heads and tails still on; ¼ teaspoon dried dill weed; ¼ teaspoon dried thyme; salt to taste; ½ large onion, sliced; 2 thin slices lemon (Optional); 2 tablespoons hot water; ground black pepper to taste

This rainbow trout recipe is very easy and tasty. One day, I came up with this recipe with the ingredients I had on hand, and my family loved it. It works with farmed or wild trout, takes very little time, and tastes lighter than ocean fish. I buy whole, gutted fish with heads and tails still on from the supermarket; make sure to choose very fresh trout. The key is to add water to the dish as instructed in the directions, which keeps the fish from drying out; add hot water as cold water can crack the baking dish. Serve with rice and veggies. It's light and delicious, but be careful of bones!
