Baked Trout

Source: Sunset Favorite Recipes 1949

1 trout
2 strips bacon
1 or 2 lemons, sliced
Salt and pepper
Lettuce

Clean the trout and wipe with a damp cloth. Inside the fish place the strips of bacon and lay two or three slices of lemon on the bacon; sprinkle fish inside and out with salt and pepper.

In a long roaster arrange a bed of lettuce, lay the fish on it and place slices of lemon on top. Bake at 350 degrees F until tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Arrange fresh lettuce leaves on a platter, placed the baked fish on the lettuce, and decorate with fresh slices of lemon. (Do not use lettuce or lemon baked with fish.)
