Grilled Trout With Herbs Recipe

Ingredients (per trout - 2 trout will feed 3 people quite well):

1 cleaned rainbow trout (about 1/2 lb), with head on
6 mint leaves, chopped finely
finely chopped parsley, same quantity as the mint
a pinch of finely chopped sweet basil
1 tbsp butter
juice from one small lemon
salt and pepper to season

Directions:

Chop herbs and mix into butter and lemon juice.
If you're using salted butter, no additional salt will be needed, otherwise add about 1/4 tsp salt to the mix, plus pepper to taste.
Gently rub skin with a small amount of butter and herbs.
Fill fish's body cavity with remaining butter and herbs.
Grill 5-7 minutes per side. When the eye that's down turns white, that side is done.

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 5-7 minutes per side
