Clean the trout and slash each side at the thickest part 2 or 3 times. Coat all over with the spice mixture. Leave covered for 1-2 hours so that the flavours can develop and then grill under a medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side. Serve with a yoghurt and cucumber sauce.








Yoghurt and cucumber sauce





Peel the cucumber, slice or shred it and leave it, sprinkled with salt, to drain for about half an hour. Use kichen paper to pat off any excess moisture and then mix the cucumber with the yoghurt, a few chopped mint leaves and seasonings.
You can always look at www.foodnetwork.com or

However, my husband and his buddies always make this simple dish after we've been trout fishing...its so easy...and goo. but NOT good for you. They take the trout and piece it with bacon and pineapple (held together with toothpicks) dredge the combo in fish fry (buy the premade -its easiest) and then fry it all up. Its so good....goes really well with grilled asparagus or hash brown casserole...something that can be light and/or hearty.
Why not look on www.allrecipes.com? Rice is a good choice for fish, meat, chicken, etc.
first dip fish in apple juice


rub it down with seasoned salt, white pepper, Oregano, Majoram, Thyme, and a pinch of cayenne.





Bake the rubbed trout stuffed with thin green apple slices and onions...


marinate with apple cider to keep it moist...apple wine is okay too


add cooked bacon and it's even better.





once you've steamed your rice...


fry it hot in a skillet coated with olive oil


pile it in the middle and push a crater into the pile


fille the crater with grated parmesan


stir and mash until the parmesan cheese is melted and you have a pretty good gloppy mess.


sprinkle oregano over the top and put it on a plate.





- if I use any bacon for the stuffing...I take the hot recooked bacon, apple slices, and onions right out of the cooked trout...put it into and onion chopper and make a ';mash'; that goes nicely over the rice.





Enjoy with a riesling
