Grilled Trout

Ingredients:

• 6 to 8 pan-size rainbow trout
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 4 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 Tablespoon pepper
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds
• 3/4 cup margarine
  

Cooking Directions:

1. Make three light slashes on each side of fish.
2. Combine lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3. Marinate fish in refrigerator all day.
4. To BBQ: Toast sesame seeds until brown. Add margarine and heat. Drain lemon juice mixture from fish and add some to sesame seeds and butter. Place fish in large folding wire grill basket or directly on grill. Cook over medium coals about 5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Baste frequently with sesame seed mixture.
   

Note: It is really best to have a grill basket as the fish will stick to the grill and fall apart. Spray either the basket or grill with a generous coating of non-stick spray.
