Nutritional values

Trout is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help prevent high cholesterol levels. This dish is also a great source of vitamin E, which enhances the positive properties of fatty acids, and vitamin B12, which helps with blood formation.

You can always substitute the mint for more traditional basil or even parsley.
