Fish in a Bag Recipes

One of the easiest fish in a bag recipes uses the roasting bags that you would normally use for meat or chicken.

This method cuts down on the smell and saves washing up because you just throw the bags away - no cooking dishes to wash up - hooray!

You can of course use any small whole fish or fish fillets for this dish - the only limit's your imagination.

Baked Trout in a Bag

4 fresh trout - about 12 oz (350g) each, cleaned but with heads and tails left on
salt and pepper
olive oil
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic peeled and finely chopped or garlic powder
fresh chopped parsley
fresh dill (dried if not available)
whole lemon, juiced - about 2 tbspns

Pre-heat your oven to Gas Mark 5, 375F or 190C

Season the inside of the fish with salt and pepper and brush with olive oil.

Heat some oil in a pan and soften the onion and garlic. Add the parsley, dill and lemon juice, then divide the mixture evenly inside each fish.

Pop each fish into a roasting bag and then place on a baking tray.

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes and serve straight away.

Do be careful when opening the bags - the steam will burn you quite badly - stick a knife in them to allow the steam to escape and keep your hands out of the way!
