Quick and easy to make, it has under 500 calories – perfect for a healthy, delicious midweek meal.
We served ours with a couscous and chickpea salad finished with plenty of coriander.
INGREDIENTS
asparagus ½ bunch, trimmed
skinless trout 1 fillet about 140g
softened butter 2 tsp
garlic ½ clove, crushed
lemon ½, zested and juiced
flat-leaf parsley chopped
to make 1 tbsp
METHOD
Lay a piece of baking parchment over a piece of foil on the work surface, and add the asparagus stems, in one layer, to the middle.
Place the trout fillet on top and season.
Mash the butter with the garlic, lemon zest, parsley and seasoning. Spoon onto the fish, add a slice of lemon and a squeeze of juice, and wrap the parcel up tightly.
Put in a steamer basket, and steam for 15-20 minutes, until the fish is cooked through.
Serve with more lemon squeezed over, if you like.
