Ingredients

  • 4 rainbow trout, about 12-16 ounce each
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons shallots or green onions, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Clean the fish thoroughly. You may cook the fish whole, as pictured, but if desired, remove heads and butterfly the trout.
  2. Melt butter and combine in a small bowl with parsley, salt and onion.
  3. Prepare grill and bring to medium high heat. You will need a very clean grill; otherwise, the fish will break apart. A fish grilling tray or rack will also make grilling easier. A thin metal spatula is ideal for turning fish.
  4. Grill on each side for about 4 minutes, basting with the butter-parsley mixture.
  5. Test the fish with a fork to be sure it is flakey and cooked thoroughly.
  6. If a crunchy edge is desired, grill slightly longer. Serve immediately.
