Grilled Trout and White Rice
Just For Fun, Seasonal, Tastebuds July 10, 2022
Grilled Trout Ingredients:
- Fresh River Trout (frozen or store-bought also works)
- Garlic Butter (here’s the recipe I used if you want to make homemade https://www.thekitchn.com/garlic-butter-recipe-23229971#post-recipe-298180959)
- Half a White Onion roughly chopped
- TBSP. of salt
White Rice Ingredients:
- 1 c long grain rice like jasmine
- 1 1/2 c water(I used Chicken Broth)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cube vegetable or chicken bouillon
- salt+pepper to taste
- parsley flakes (optional)
Grilled Trout Instructions:
- Make sure the fish is cleaned and then add onions and garlic butter into the cavity.
- Add salt then wrap in aluminum foil
- Place on a grill at a minimum of 400 degrees.
- Let cook flipping every so often for about 20 to 25 minutes.
White Rice Instructions:
-
Over medium heat, add butter, oil, and bouillon cube to a skillet or pan. Whisk to dissolve the cube then add the rice. Coat the rice with the oil mixture and add the water.
-
Bring to a bubbly boil then drop the heat to low. Allow the rice to absorb the water according to your rice package directions. You may use quick-cooking or standard rice.
-
Fluff the rice and season with a dash of salt and pepper if desired. Dried parsley flakes add a nice pop of color.
In the summer especially here in the south, it means time to break out the fishing poles, and after you catch them the best way to eat the trout is grilled. This is my recipe for how I cooked the fish and the side I served with them. This is my favorite way to serve white rice, it’s packed full of flavor and is so yummy!
If you’re camping this can also be done over the fire just be careful how close you put the fish to the flames you don’t want to char them. There are also other ways to cook river trout, you can fry them or bake them in the oven its really just your preference.
The rice is so versatile that it can be served as a side for anything. However, if the dish it is on the side has a lot of flavor on its own it might be best to just cook plain. I also don’t use this when I’m planning on making fried rice.
