Tuscan Grilled Trout
A simple garlic-and-herb-infused oil combined with wine vinegar acts as both a basting liquid and a sauce for the fish.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sliced sage
- 1 teaspoon rosemary leaves
- 2 tablespoons wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 trout fillets (about 2 pounds in all)
Direction
- Light the grill or heat the broiler. In a small stainless-steel saucepan, combine the oil, garlic, sage, and rosemary. Cook over moderately low heat until the garlic just starts to brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper.
- Put the trout fillets in a medium glass dish or stainless-steel pan. Sprinkle the fish with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add half of the oil and vinegar mixture and turn to coat. Grill or broil the fish skin side down for 2 minutes. Turn and cook until just done, about 2 minutes longer for 1/4-inch-thick fillets. To serve, whisk the remaining oil and vinegar mixture and pour it over the hot fish.
