Tuscan Grilled Trout

Total Time:

15 minutes

Servings:

4 people

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, cut into thin slices
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
  • 8 trout fillets (about 2 pounds in all)
  • Lemon slices

Instructions

  • Light the grill or heat the broiler. In a small stainless-steel saucepan, combine the oil, garlic, sage, and rosemary. Cook over moderately low heat until the garlic just starts to brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper.

     
  • Put the trout fillets in a medium glass dish or stainless-steel pan. Sprinkle the fish with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add half of the oil-and-vinegar mixture and turn to coat. Grill or broil the fish skin-side down for 2 minutes. Turn and cook until just done, about 2 minutes longer for 1/4-inch-thick fillets. To serve, whisk the remaining oil-and-vinegar mixture and pour it over the hot fish. Garnish with lemon slices.
