Barbecue trout recipes are easy provided you have one essential ingredient – freshness. Fresh BBQ fish and fresh accompaniments make all the difference and here’s some great examples.
BBQ trout is so easy and so tasty, all you need is a good fresh flavoured rub / stuffing or a light sauce to drizzle over. I love a little spice in my barbecues and so I’m going to start with one of my favourite barbecue trout recipes. Surprise surprise it’s called
Grilled Spicy Trout!
Ingredients:-
First of all there’s the spice mix:-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon black pepper
a pinch of salt
Method:-
LMix it all up.
Take your trout (washed and gutted) and make some some oblique slashes down each side of the trout. Then simply rub the spice mix all over, in the cavity and into the slashes. Now refrigerate for an hour while the spices do their work and it’s time to light the barbecue.
TIP - oil the grill plate and the
fish rack
and this will stop the fish from sticking and breaking up.
Grill the trout on medium coals for about five to ten minutes on each side depending on the size of the fish.
…………..and here’s another spicy option:-
Grilled Trout with Thai Sweet Sauce
This has got to be the easiest! Check out my
Thai Sweet Sauce
recipe, grill your fish with a spinkle of salt and drizzle the sauce over at the last minute. Serve with fresh salad. Mmm!
The last of my Barbecue Trout Recipes (for now anyway)
Fennel goes very well with trout so for my final recipe on this page were going to do a simple grilled trout and drizzle over some fennel oil. If you’ve read this far I’m sure I don’t need to tell you how to grill trout – easy isn’t it? So let’s just concentrate on the fennel oil.
Ingredients:-
1 tsp fennel seeds
3 bird's-eye chillies
250ml/9fl oz extra virgin oil
Method:-
Crush the fennel seeds in a pestle and mortar just enough to release the aroma and add to the olive oil. Chop the chillies and again add to the oil (remember to wash your hands afterwards!).
The longer the oil stands, the more the flavours take hold so don’t use it straight away.
Grill and Drizzle! This is great served with a red tomato salad.
OK so it wasn’t the last recipe. How could I leave out this one out?
