Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/Gas mark 7.

2. Line a roasting tin with aluminum foil and add enough salt to make a 1cm/1/2in layer.

3. Scatter about half the tarragon over the salt and add the garlic. Press the trout down into the salt, scatter the remaining tarragon over the top, and cover completely with salt.

4. Cook for 20 minutes until tender. Remove from the oven, crack the salt open, and carefully lift out the trout. Serve with rice and garnish with lemon wedges.
