Ingredients:

Trout
2 lb (1 kg) boneless rainbow trout, about 2 large fillets

2 tsp (10 mL) white wine vinegar
1/4 tsp (1 mL) dried thyme leaves

1 tsp (5 mL) white wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
 Chopped parsley (optional)
Lemon wedges

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Arrange the trout on a lightly greased, foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
  3. Blend the oil with the mustard, vinegar and thyme; brush evenly over the trout.
  4. Roast for 8 to 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
  5. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper.
  6. Cook, stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes or until browned.
  7. Stir in the roasted red pepper, vinegar and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes or until glossy.

Extra tip: 

Many supermarkets sell pre-sliced mushrooms. A mini chopper can be used to help chop up the onion, roasted red peppers and parsley (if using).
