Bacon Wrapped Trout Recipe 465

BACON-WRAPPED TROUT

Steps:

• Place 1 garlic clove and 1 sage and thyme sprig inside each fish. Season them well with salt and pepper.
• Lay 2 slices bacon, overlapping, on a board. Place the fish on top and wrap the bacon around the fish, securing it with the string. Repeat with the remaining fish.
• Preheat the grill to high, then oil well. Grill the fish 4 to 6 minutes a side, or until the bacon is crispy and the fish is cooked through.
• Cut off the string and serve.
• Tip: To make grilling fish easier and prevent it from sticking, place it in a well-oiled fish basket and secure well.
