Ingredients

Trout:

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

• 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) each salt and pepper

• 1 Tbsp. (15 ml) each olive oil and Dijon mustard

• 2 tsp. (10 ml) white wine vinegar

• 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) dried thyme leaves

Relish:

• 1 Tbsp. (15 ml) olive oil

• 1 small onion, chopped

• 2 cups (500 ml) sliced cremini or white mushrooms

• 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) dried thyme leaves

• 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) each salt and pepper

• 1/2 cup (125 ml) chopped roasted red pepper

• 1 tsp. (5 ml) white wine vinegar

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• Chopped parsley (optional)

• Lemon wedges

Directions Trout: Preheat the oven to 425F (220C). Arrange trout on a lightly greased, foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Blend oil with mustard, vinegar and thyme; brush evenly over the trout. Roast for 8 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Relish: Meanwhile, heat oil in a large, non-stick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add onion, mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes or until browned. Stir in roasted red pepper, vinegar and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes or until glossy.

Spoon mushroom relish over trout. Garnish with parsley (if using) and serve with lemon wedges.
