1. 1Squeeze lemon juice over the skin and inside the cavity of each fish, season all over with salt and ground black pepper, then put a thyme sprig in each cavity.
2. 2Stretch each bacon rasher using the back of a knife, then wrap two rashers around each fish.
3. 3Place the fish in a shallow ovenproof dish, lightly greased with butter, with the loose ends of bacon tucked underneath to prevent them from unwinding.
4. 4Bake the trout for 15-20 minutes in an oven at 390°F, until the flesh flakes easily tested with the point of a sharp knife and the bacon is crisp an beginning to brown.
5. 5Transfer the fish to warmed individual plates and serve immediately garnished with chopped parsley and sprigs of thyme and accompanied by lemon wedges.
