Quick Grilled Trout Recipes

EASY GRILLED TROUT RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the trout onto heavy aluminum foil. Dot with butter and squeeze the lemon on to the fish. Spread with salad dressing. Salt and pepper to taste (remember the salad dressing will have salt in it).
• Wrap the foil around the fish fillet and seal tightly.
• Place the trout "package" on a hot grill, on the side of a fire or in a 350ºF preheated oven. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until flaky. Exact cooking time depends on the thickness of the fish.
• Remove fish from the foil and serve.

WHOLE GRILLED TROUT

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Rub each trout generously with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt; sprinkle inside of cavities with salt and black pepper. Place half the lemon and onion slices into cavity of each trout, along with minced garlic, and place a sprig of rosemary and thyme into cavities.
• Turn preheated grill down to low and place the trout directly onto the grill; cook until flesh flakes easily and the skins are browned, 6 to 7 minutes per side, flipping once.

FISHERMAN'S GRILLED TROUT

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high heat.
• Rinse fillets and pat dry. Slice onion into 1/8-inch rings, and set aside. Slice lemon into 1/8-inch rings, remove seeds and set aside.
• Rub 1 clove of crushed garlic over the fillet. Place fillet in the center of the aluminum foil. Top with 1 pat of butter, 2 to 3 onion rings, then season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover fish with 1 or 2 lemon rings. Fold aluminum foil around fish to create a sealed package. Repeat for each fillet.
• Place packets on hot grill for 5 minutes or until cooked through, careful not to overcook the fillets. Remove fish from foil, plate and serve immediately.

HOT GRILLED TROUT

Steps:

• Prepare your grill for grilling. In a shallow dish, mix the lemon juice, butter, oil, parsley, sesame seeds, hot sauce, ginger and salt. With a fork, pierce the skin of each fish in several places. Roll the fish in the lemon juice mixture to coat thoroughly. Leave the fish in the marinade, cover the dish, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, turning the fish occasionally.
• Remove the fish, reserving the marinade, and place them in a hand-held, hinged grill (I use that method because I'm terrible at turning the fish on the grill without mangling them). Brush the fish with the marinade. Cook about 4 inches from the hot coals for 5 minutes. Turn, brush with marinade, and cook for 5 minutes longer, or until the flesh appears opaque and flakes easily.
