Grilled Rainbow Trout Stuffed with Vegetables





This is simplicity at it's best.  We add a lemon-butter mixture to bring out the fantastic flavors not only in the fish, but in the vegetables as well.


3 Rainbow Trout
1 russet potatoes, diced (cook the fork-pricked potato in the micro for 3 minutes before dicing)
1 fresh hothouse tomato, diced
1 small red onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 stick of butter
juice of one lemon
Tartar Sauce (recipe to follow)


Combine all the vegetables in a bowl.  Stuff the trout with the vegetable mixture, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.  Cover with 4 or 5 pats of butter.  Sprinkle with lemon juice.  Wrap in 2 sheets of foil.  For any remaining vegetable mixture, make it's own foil pouch to throw on the grill with a couple pats of butter and a little lemon juice, salt and pepper.  Throw all the pouches on a medium-high heated grill.  Grill for about 20 minutes, turning every five minutes. De-bone and skin the fish as best you can and warn people to watch for bones.


Tartar Sauce
1 cup Hellman's mayonnaise
2 TBSP finely chopped sweet or dill pickle
1 TBSP chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp grated onion
1 small juice of 1 lemon and zest


Mix all ingredients.  Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until chilled.
