Whole Trout Baked In Foil Recipe

ingredients

4 whole scaled and cleaned trout (about 1 pound each), rinsed
salt, to taste
4 medium tomatoes, cored and sliced
1/2 cup thinly sliced white onion
2 jalapeno chiles, seeded, veins removed, and sliced into thin strips
12 fresh epazote leaves, or fresh cilantro sprigs
4 teaspoons unsalted butter
4 teaspoons dry white wine

directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lay out pieces of 12-inch-long foil, each large enough to completely wrap 1 fish.

Season each fish inside and out with salt. Lay 1 fish in the center of each piece of foil. Layer the tomatoes, onion, chiles, and epazote evenly among the fish. Put 1 teaspoon butter on top of each. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of wine over each. Fold the foil over the fish and crimp the edges to make a snug package.

Put the packages on a baking sheet and cook in the center of the oven 22 to 25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque inside and just barely flakes when tested with a fork. (Test one for doneness. Re-close to serve.)

Serve hot in the packages.
