Fresh herbs create a fragrant, flavourful crust that surrounds the perfectly roasted fish. Expect a delightful contrast between the crispy exterior and the tender, flaky flesh inside. This dish is ideal for a relaxed weekend meal or a special occasion, sure to impress everyone at the table.

Ingredients:

1 whole coral trout (about 1.5 kg), cleaned and gutted
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Instructions:

1 Prepare the Trout
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Rinse the coral trout under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place the fish on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
2 Season with Herb Crust
In a small bowl, combine chopped fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, and rosemary), minced garlic, lemon zest, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Rub the herb mixture all over the trout, making sure to get it into any crevices.
3 Roast the Trout
Place the tray in the oven and roast the trout for about 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the skin is crispy.
4 Serve
Remove the trout from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra lemon wedges and herbs if desired.
