Italian Grilled Trout

Recipe from: Fishing guide Aron Yukich, from Kasba Lake Lodge, Northwest Territories.

• Serves: 4
• Course: Lunch

Ingredients

• 1-3 lb lake trout, filleted
• 4 cups Italian, or sundried tomato, salad dressing (for marinade)
• Oregano and pepper, to taste
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 1 medium-sized onion
• 1 can mushrooms, or 1/4 lb fresh mushrooms if available

Preparation

1. Marinate fish in dressing at least 30 minutes before grilling.
2. Grease the grill with cooking oil to prevent sticking, and place the fillets skin-side down; lightly season with oregano and pepper. Grill for about 5 minutes or until outer edges appear to be cooked. Flip and continue cooking for 3 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork and outer edges are crispy.
3. Baste with leftover marinade throughout the grilling; flip only once.
4. Garnish with lemon, sautéed onions and mushrooms. Serve with potatoes, beans and corn. This recipe also works with salmon and other species of trout.
