Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 20 minutes Total time: 35 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients For the trout: - 2 medium trout, cleaned - 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary - 2 ripe tomatoes - 2 small cloves of garlic - Salt and pepper, to taste For the potatoes: - 4 medium potatoes - 1 teaspoon pesto sauce - 1 tablespoon olive oil For the lemon garlic sauce: - 1 small lemon - 2 cloves of garlic - 4 tablespoons water - 1 tablespoon olive oil - Salt, to taste - Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Step-by-Step Guide 1. Preparing the Trout: Start by salting the inside of the trout well, ensuring every corner is covered to enhance the flavor. Then, add a sprig of rosemary, two crushed garlic cloves, and a few slices of tomato inside each fish. This will add a divine and fresh aroma during cooking. 2. Seasoning: Don't forget to season the outside of the trout with salt and pepper. These simple seasonings will make a significant difference in the final taste of the dish. 3. The Grill: Place the trout in a special fish holder. If you don't have such a holder, don't worry! You can use a regular grill, but be sure to turn the fish carefully to avoid breaking it. Add two slices of tomato on top for an extra touch of color and flavor. 4. Cooking the Trout: Place the trout on the preheated grill and cook for 9-10 minutes on each side. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size of the fish, so use a fork to check if it’s cooked properly. The fish is done when the flesh turns opaque and easily flakes away from the bones. 5. Preparing the Potatoes: Meanwhile, peel and dice the potatoes. Boil them in salted water. Check them with a fork to ensure they are ready. When they are cooked (about 15-20 minutes), drain them and add a teaspoon of olive oil and the pesto sauce. Gently mix to avoid mashing them. 6. Preparing the Lemon Garlic Sauce: Wash the lemon well. Cut a third of it into slices and squeeze the rest. In a small bowl, combine grated garlic, a pinch of salt, lemon juice, water, and olive oil. Whisk well until blended. Finally, garnish with lemon slices and chopped parsley. Serving Serving this dish is simple yet elegant. Place the trout on a plate alongside the pesto potatoes and drizzle the lemon garlic sauce on top. This combination not only looks spectacular but also perfectly blends the flavors of fish, herbs, fresh vegetables, and sauces. Chef's Tip If you want to personalize your recipe, you can add other herbs like thyme or dill. Also, for an extra burst of flavor, you can add some chopped olives to the pesto potatoes.
