Spring Onion-Stuffed Brook Trout

The combination of all natural Western Pecan and Apple BBQ chips infuse a lovely sweet smoky flavor in this recipe for Grilled Spring Onion-Stuffed Brook Trout.


Ingredients:

1 cup fresh bread crumbs
½ cup pine nuts
¼ cup sliced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 TBSP finely grated lemon zest
2 TBSP plus 1 TSP extra-virgin olive oil
Fine sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 whole brook trout (scaled, butterflied, and heads, tails, and fins removed)
8 spring onions

Directions:
  1. For a gas grill, preheat to medium-high and place Western Apple and Pecan Wood Chips in a smoking tray or arrange in a foil pack and place directly over the hottest part of the grill. For a charcoal grill, prepare a fire and then place a handful of Western Apple and Pecan Wood Chips directly on your hot coals or place chips in a smoking tray and place on the grill.
  2. In a large bowl, toss together the bread crumbs, pine nuts, parsley, lemon zest, 1 TBSP olive oil, 1 TSP salt, and 1 TSP black pepper.
  3. Rinse the trout and pat dry. Rub 1 TSP of the olive oil on the outside of each trout and season with salt and pepper. Place one-quarter of the stuffing in the cavity of each trout, spreading evenly from the head end to the tail end. Lay 2 spring onions in each fish.
  4. When the grill is hot and the chips are smoking, place the trout in a fish grill basket on the grill and grill until the stuffing is hot and the fish is opaque in the center, about 7 minutes on each side. For best results, at least half of the cooking time should be with the lid closed to infuse the wood chip flavor.
