Food Friday: Grilled Lime & Ginger Rainbow Trout

Grilled Lime & Ginger Rainbow Trout

Ingredients

• 600g rainbow trout (4 fillets)
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2cm ginger root, minced
• 1 tsp grated lime peel
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper

Instructions

1. Sauté the minced ginger and grated lime peel in the oil over medium heat, until lightly browned and aromatic.
2. Remove from the heat and stir in the crushed red pepper. Once cooled, whisk in the lime juice. Set aside.
3. Heat the grill to a moderate temperature. Brush the grill with some oil to reduce sticking, and grill the trout fillets with the skin side down for about 2 minutes (or use a fish basket). Gently turn the fillets and grill for another 2 minutes or until flesh turns opaque. (Alternatively, grill under the broiler in the oven.)
4. Serve immediately with a dash of the ginger-lime mixture.
