Whole river trout baked in the oven
Description
The recipe won't take much time. A great advantage of this dish is that it requires very few ingredients. It's very simple to prepare. The main thing is to thoroughly clean the fish from its innards. River trout pairs perfectly with many aromatic herbs, so adding a sprig of rosemary or some dried basil will only enhance its delicate aroma and enrich the flavor. Serve hot.

2. Thoroughly wash the fish, clean it, remove the innards, and dry with a paper towel. Rub the fish outside with the prepared mixture, and place the remaining mixture inside. Make shallow cuts on one side of the fish's surface, insert a slice of lemon into each cut, and season the fish with pepper.

3. Grease the foil with vegetable oil, place the fish on it, and wrap it tightly to prevent the juice from leaking. Place the fish on a baking sheet. Wash the tomatoes and slice them into rings, arrange them on the baking sheet next to the fish. Grate the garlic and sprinkle it over the tomatoes, then top with grated cheese. Bake the fish in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes.
