1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Score each trout (slash diagonally) 3 times. Sprinkle trout lightly with salt and pepper.
2. In a small bowl, combine herbs and use the mixture to stuff the slashes in the trout. Place the trout side-by-side in a buttered shallow baking pan. Top each fish with 4 alternating half slices of onion and orange.
3. Mix oil, paprika, cognac and orange juice. Spoon over trout. (Original recipe did not use oil. It called for melted butter: 2 tablespoons per serving.)
4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until trout are lightly browned. Garnish with sprigs of the same herbs used to stuff trout. Serve.
