Ingredients

  • One quanity of marinade (see Cooks' tip)
  • 4 whole rainbow trout
  • soft herbs
  • lemon slices

Method

  1. Make 3 diagonal slashes on each side of the fish and rub all over with the marinade (see Cooks' tip), including in the cavities. Arrange on a large baking tray and set aside for up to 20 minutes. If you have any spare soft herbs and/or lemon slices, add them to the cavities.

  2. Meanwhile, grease the barbecue grill well, or prepare a fish basket by heating it up on the barbecue. Remove the fish from the marinade (discard the excess), then put directly on a medium-hot grill or into the basket, then onto the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through with opaque flesh and crispy skin.
