Total propoints per recipe: 24
Propoints per serving: 6
Serves: 4
What you need:
4 x 120g rainbow trout fillets
1 Onion
1 pepper
Chilli flakes or fresh sliced chillies
1 tbsp lime juice
60g half fat butter / 70g flora light / 6pp worth of other spread
Salt & pepper
baking parchment
What to do:
1. Sweat the onion for 3 minutes to soften, then add the peppers, and fry until both soft. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees/170 for a fan oven.
2. Cut four squares of baking parchment, each large enough for one piece of trout. Add 1/4 of the vegetables to each of the squares and top with one piece of trout.
3. Sprinkle each fillet of trout with the chilli flakes, salt, pepper and lime juice – be liberal as there are such simple flavours! Divide the butter equally into four and place on top of the fillets.
4. Wrap each fillet up like a christmas cracker, and cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
I served this with 200g garlic mashed potatoes per person (for four points each) and broccoli (I know, I abuse broccoli!), making it a large, simple, reasonably healthy but indulgent-feeling meal.

Just stumbled across your blog – you are doing a fantastic job! 😀 This recipe sounds delicious – shame I am a complete failure at cooking! Hahaha. 🙂

The trout sounds great. I like the idea of the parchment challenge and fish is perfect cooked that way because it helps keep it moist.
The trout sounds delicious, love the flavors. I like cooking en papillote, it’s always so moist. And an easy cleanup 🙂
“En papillote” sounds so chic 🙂 I bet your meal was as tasty as it sounds! I wonder whether the method can be used for cooking other ingredients?
This sounds phenomenal (and so simple)! We will try it soon. I adore limes.
I love how simple it is. I’m always looking for more good fish recipes. Great post!
Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday! Please come back tomorrow to VOTE!
I need to get back to cooking more fish, no matter how much my son thinks he doesn’t like it! This seems like a simple way to do it.
this sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing at Foodie Friends Friday

Trout is always delicious, but the addition of lime sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing!
I would love to cook more fish and this recipe sounds great. Thanks for sharing.
I think the last time I cooked trout I caught it… I was like 12. Obviously should get some again soon!
