I had trout for dinner last night, too. My local Central Market had them on
sale for $3/lb :)

Salt, pepper, half-slices of lemon, and a little sliced leek in the cavity,
wrapped up in a parchment paper pouch, and baked for about 15 minutes.

Rice pilaf and asparagus to go with.

The best part of an otherwise very frustrating day.
