Baked Fish With Country Herbs
AND LABORIE SAUVIGNON BLANC
I love cooking with farmed trout first of all because it is responsible practice but also tastes really good and as some are farmed in sea water and dubbed ocean trout which I used for this recipe has a wonderful rich flavour. This recipe is great for entertaining and good for any event.
