Grilled Rainbow 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.

GRILLED RAINBOW TROUT

Steps:

• Whisk together juice, wine, and oil in a shallow nonreactive dish. Stuff half of the thyme, shallots, and lemon slices inside of the fish. Arrange trout in a single layer in dish; turn to coat. Scatter remaining thyme, shallots, and lemon slices over the fish. Cover; let stand for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high. Remove fish from marinade. Season with salt and pepper. Spray a grill basket large enough to hold 4 fish with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange fish in grill basket.
• Grill until just cooked through and firm to the touch, 5 to 7 minutes per side.

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.

GRILLED BUTTERFLIED RAINBOW TROUT

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Lightly oil the escarole, artichokes, tomatoes, and shallots and place on the grill. Grill until tender, removing as they finish and placing on a large platter.
• Press down on the trout to completely open and flatten. Season the flour with Essence, salt, and pepper and place in a shallow dish. Dredge the trout in the seasoned flour. Add butter and oil to a hot saute pan. Pan-fry the trout until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
• Place the fish on top of the grilled vegetables and top with balsamic vinegar, lemon zest, and parsley.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
• Yield: about 2/3 cup
