There
are plenty of fish in the Italian lakes and Garda is
no exception. Trout is a good choice for this particular
recipe which comes from some friends who have a villa
at the southern end of the lake. If you like you can
add a few good quality black table olives or a sprinkling
of toasted almonds to the dish before baking.
