Step 1
1. First, the fish should be thoroughly washed, cleaned of entrails and scales, and the fins should be removed. To prevent the trout from losing its shape and to keep it looking appetizing when served, you may leave the head on. This is a classic recipe for rainbow trout in foil, but if desired, you can debone the fillet.

2. Wash the lemon and cut it in half. Squeeze the juice from one half and mix it with vegetable oil. If desired, add a little soy or tomato sauce. Salt and pepper the fish on all sides, then brush it with the lemon-oil mixture.

3. Wash the parsley and pat it dry lightly. Chop and divide into approximately two equal portions. Place one portion of the herbs onto a sheet of foil, then put the fish on top. Cut the lemon half, from which the juice was squeezed, into small slices and mix with the chopped herbs. Stuff the fish cavity with the herb and lemon mixture, carefully placing the filling inside the belly.

5. Carefully wrap the foil into a sealed packet, making sure the juices won't leak out. Place the fish on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and put it into the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. To achieve a delicious crispy crust on the rainbow trout cooked in foil at home, you can open the foil and continue baking the fish for another 5-10 minutes (you may use the broiler function). Serve the trout with your favorite side dish or vegetables.
