Trout with dill cream sauce is a simple oven-baked dish: season whole trout with lemon and garlic, then bake them in cream with dill. The cream keeps the fish from drying out and turns into a sauce as it bakes.

Prepare the trout
10 minPreheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F). Pat the trout dry with paper towels. Season inside and out with salt and pepper, then place a slice of lemon and a little dill in the cavity of each fish.
Add the cream
5 minGrease a baking dish with the butter and arrange the trout side by side. Mix the cream with the crushed garlic, the juice of half the lemon, and most of the dill, then pour over the fish.
Bake
25 minBake uncovered for 20–25 minutes at 190 °C (375 °F), until the flesh near the backbone is white and separates easily.
Serve
Sprinkle with the remaining dill and serve with boiled potatoes and the sauce from the baking dish.
Tip: Fresh trout have clear, bulging eyes, red gills, and firm flesh that springs back when pressed.
