List of Ingredients

Grilled Lemon Trout with Fennel and Tarragon


4 3/4-inch thick trout fillets
2 thinly sliced fennel bulbs
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon crumbled dried tarragon
Juice of one lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
Additional lemon slices and fennel fronds for garnish (optional)




Recipe

Place the trout and fennel in a flat bowl or plate. Salt and pepper liberally and sprinkle the tarragon over the fillets and fennel. Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the dish and drizzle with olive oil.

Let marinate for at least five minutes and up to an hour, flipping over frequently to coat with the marinade. (If marinating for longer than 15 minutes, refrigerate.) Oil the grill grate and prepare a medium hot fire.

Place the trout fillets skin side down on the grate along with the fennel. Grill for four minutes, then flip over the fish carefully. Flip over the fennel, moving it away from the hotter part of the grill if needed.

Continue to grill for 3-4 minutes more or until the fennel is browned and the fish is cooked through. Serve with the lemon slices and fennel fronds.

Makes 4 servings.
