This golden trout recipe has only a handful of simple ingredients and is easy to make — even on a weeknight. The fish will stay moist and juicy inside the Alder wrap, while also taking on the subtle, smoky flavor of the wood.

Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients:

  • 2 Alder Grilling Wraps
  • 2 Golden Trouts, whole, 10-12 ounces
  • 6 thin Slices of Butter
  • Small Bunch of Thyme and Oregano
  • 6 thin Slices of Lemon (plus extra to serve!)
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste

Directions:

  1. Soak the Alder Wraps in warm water for 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven or grill to 350°F.
  3. Clean the trouts by rinsing and drying the inside and outside of the fish. Add salt and pepper on the inside.
  4. Stuff the trout with lemon slices, butter and herbs.
  5. Place the trout on the Alder wrap (one trout per wrap) and secure with natural twine.
  6. Add to grill and cook for about 15 minutes, or until done (the flesh should easily fall away from the bone).
  7. When done, remove from grill and open the wraps.
  8. Carefully pull the bones away from the fish.
  9. Serve with lemon and enjoy!
