Baked Trout with Shiitake Mushrooms, Tomatoes, and Ginger

This vibrant baked trout with shiitake mushrooms, tomatoes, and ginger is a wonderful way to enjoy fresh fish with a hint of Asian-inspired flavour.

The colourful combination of tomatoes and spring onions adds a fresh texture that perfectly complements the delicate, flaky fish.
