Healthy Grilled Trout Recipe With Sun Dried Tomatoes And Basil

It was a bit of panic yesterday dreaming up this grilled trout recipe but sometimes a recipe just comes to you and you know it's going to be a hit. I've always wondered what it must be like to write a great pop song, well I guess this is the culinary equivalent.

When I asked my wife what the fish was that was in the refrigerator she went pale. She had bought a side of trout a couple of days ago and was now panicking that it would no longer be fresh. We must eat it tonight so what do you do with a skinned side of trout at a moments notice?

Here's the finished article, almost good enough to eat!

I first cut it into steaks so don't worry if you haven't got a full side, trout steaks (or salmon steaks) are great for this recipe. You'll also need to soak some cocktail sticks for trussing the fish.

Ingredients:-

  • Large trout steaks

    Make the incisions like this and insert the tomatoes and basil
  • Sun dried tomatoes
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Olive oil for basting (use the stuff that the sun dried tomatoes came in)

Method:-

Take your sun dried tomatoes and slice them as best you can into thin slices (it doesn't have to look pretty) and pick you basil leaves. Take a sharp knife and make a couple of incisions in the thickest part of the fish steak but not the whole way through. Into each incision stuff a piece of sun dried tomato and a basil leaf then fold the steak over and use the cocktail sticks to truss it into position.

Baste the fish generously with olive oil to stop it sticking to the grill (and / or use a Teflon mat) and slap the it on the grill. Cook on the “thin” side for about 5 minutes and the baste again with olive oil, flip it carefully and cook for a further 10 minutes on the “thick” side.

Use the cocktail sticks like this

Take care when flipping to approach the fish from the side without the cocktail sticks and this will ensure that you have something good to present as well. I served mine with lettuce, fresh tomatoes, cucumber and anything left of the sun dried tomatoes. Lightly salted with a drizzle more of the leftover oil and there's you have the perfect healthy grilled trout recipe for a summers day.
