Grilled Citrus Trout Recipes

GRILLED CITRUS TROUT

Steps:

• In a 9 x 13 baking dish, place lemon, lime, and onion slices. Add the parsley, orange juice, oil, garlic, mustard, rosemary, and pepper and stir until well mixed. Add the fish to the dish and turn to cover with marinade. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour. Preheat grill or broiler, with the rack about 5 inches from heat. Cover rack with foil, perforate it, and coat foil with cooking spray. Do not use spray near hot grill. Using a slotted spatula, transfer the fish to the foil covered broiler rack. Strain the remaining marinade into a small saucepan, reserving the lemon, lime, and onion slices. Warm marinade over low heat. Broil or grill the fish on one side, brushing them frequently with the marinade 6-8 minutes. Using a metal spatula, carefully turn the fish over. Brush fish again with marinade. Add the lemon, lime, and onion slices in an even layer on top of the fish, and continue broiling 6-8 minutes longer. Serve with fries and steamed spinach.

GRILLED TROUT WITH HERBS AND CITRUS-NUT OIL DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat an outdoor grill or preheat a grill pan to high. Pat the fish very dry with with paper or kitchen towels. Season the inside of each trout with salt and pepper, to taste. Stuff each fish with a quarter of the butter, shallots and tarragon. Tie the fish closed with kitchen twine, dental floss, or thread the fish closed with a skewer.
• Brush the fish lightly with oil. Season the outside of the fish with generously with salt and the pepper, to taste. Grill the trout until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fish registers 125 degrees F, turning once, about 5 minutes per side. Set aside for 5 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile make the dressing: Put the vinegar, orange zest, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil to make a dressing.
• Snip off the string or remove the skewer and serve each fish drizzled with some of the dressing.

CITRUS TROUT ALMONDINE

Steps:

• Drizzle 2 sheets of foil with olive oil; sprinkle each with 1/4 cup sliced almonds and 3/4 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds. Brush four 6-ounce trout fillets with more olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place each fillet, skin-side down, on top of the nuts. Top with a few orange slices (leave the peel on), then add another fillet, skin-side up, to form a trout sandwich. Sprinkle with more almonds and coriander seeds. Fold up the foil sheets and grill over high heat until the fish is just cooked through and the almonds are toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully loosen the almond crust from the bottom of the foil with a spatula.
