Ready In: 25 mins

4 - trout fillets

8 slices - Parma ham

8 - sage leaves

4 tablespoons - butter

large handful - fresh parsley (chopped)

1 - lemon (to serve)

Lay two slices of Parma ham (slightly overlapping) on a work surface. Place a sage leaf in the middle then lay one trout fillet in the middle at right angles to the ham. Add a second sage leaf and a tablespoon of butter on top of the fish.
Roll the ham around the fillet (leaving the ends of the fish hanging out) and secure with a wooden skewer. Repeat the process with the other fillets, then place the trout parcels in an oven dish and bake in a preheated moderate oven (Mk 4 - 350ºF - 180ºC) for 15-20 minutes.
Remove the fish from the oven and sprinkle over the chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon. Spoon the remaining buttery sauce from the oven dish over the trout and serve immediately.
