  1. Peel and cut the onion into 8 wedges. Thinly slice the pepper. Finely slice the garlic. Heat a medium saucepan with 2 tsp oil on medium heat. Season the trout with salt and pepper then add to the pan, skin-side down. Add the tomatoes, onion wedges, pepper and garlic to the pan around the fish. Cook for 4 mins, until the skin is golden and crispy.
  2. Flip the fish and cook for another 3 mins, then transfer to a plate. Continue cooking the veg for 5 mins, until golden brown and soft. Season well with salt and pepper.
  3. Add the dried herbs and tomato paste to the pan. Cook for 1 min, then add the passata, stock and 150ml water (75ml for 1 person). Stir then place the fish (skin-side up) on top of the sauce. Simmer for 14 mins, until the sauce thickens slightly and the fish is cooked through.
  4. Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the penne and boil for 7-8 mins, until cooked, then drain. Roughly chop the parsley (save a pinch for garnish).
  5. Add the parsley and cooked penne to the tomato sauce and toss to combine. Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork. Cook for longer if necessary.
  6. Serve the penne in bowls with the trout on top. Garnish with remaining parsley.
