This is a very simple recipe which fulfills many of my fish cravings.

Grilled trout Grilled trout (update 20110612)

Method

  • wash the fish on the outside and the inside
  • dry the fish with paper napkins
  • be creative and fill with fish with things which leave nice aromas such as: a bit of garlic, lemon, rosemary, etc.
  • put on the grill which was preheated. This is very important especially if using an Ikea grill pan as I do. I heat it well and add just a pinch of oil to avoid sticking.
  • wait until cooked. Turn once. You can check if it’s cooked with a wooden toothpick. If it’s cooked it will pierce the fish easily.
  • in the mean time prepare a polenta and garlic sauce (mujdei) by crushing garlic in warm watter, a bit of oil salt and pepper. I enjoy better a variation of garlic sauce which I prepare by crushing 2-3 garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp of chili powder, 1/2 tbs of salt, 1/2 tbs of rosemary, 1tbs of oil and 2-3 grated tomatoes.
  • Pofta buna!
