Method

step 1

Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Finely chop the bacon, then mix together with the thyme, lemon zest and breadcrumbs. Place the fish fillets in a lightly oiled baking dish, then sprinkle a quarter of the breadcrumb mixture over each fillet.
step 2

Arrange the lemon wedges around the fish and drizzle with the oil. Roast the fish for 8-10 mins until it is cooked through, flakes easily and the topping is golden. Serve with steamed veg and boiled new potatoes.

RECIPE TIPS

GOOD VALUE

Rainbow trout is always great value. If you can’t find it where you shop, you can easily substitute a salmon or sea trout fillet instead.
