Trout with Chili Sauce recipe


This is from the blog Living Lou. We've made it once before we made it again tonight. Last time, I wanted to double the sauce; this time I multiplied it by 8, in part because I had a 2 lb fillet of trout and in part because the sauce is so very good. Beej forgot to oil the grill grate, so we lost some of the sauce, so I was glad I had reserved some to brush on at the end, but we ended up using that on the grill. Next time, I think I'll reserve some and brush it on after the grilling. I'll let you know how it goes.
Trout with Chili Sauce
Recipe by Lou
Ingredients
1 lbs piece of trout
1 tsp chili sauce
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp sweet paprika
1/4 tsp parsley
1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, crushed

The recipe from Lou has this as baked trout, but we grill a lot. So we did grilled trout with chili sauce: oil the grill grate with olive oil and heat to medium.  Slather the fish, put it on the grill (ours is gas) for about 4-5 minutes a side. It was a 2lb fillet, so a decent hunk of steelhead, so it's possible you'd want to adjust the time for a smaller fillet. So so so good. I'm including the Lou's directions for baking it, though, too.
































Baking Directions
Begin by preheating your oven to 325 degrees and greasing a baking dish with a little olive oil.
Next, mix together all the ingredients and brush over trout. Place trout in the dish and bake for 18-20 minutes.
For a filling and healthy meal, serve with a spinach salad and some brown rice.
