Copycat Angry Trout Cafe Grilled Lake Superior Trout Recipe

ingredients

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 teaspoons dried tarragon
1/2 teaspoon salt, more as desired
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 1/2 pounds fresh lake-trout fillets, skinned and de-boned
freshly chopped tarragon, for garnish
lime slices, for garnish

directions

To make the grilling sauce, combine the olive oil, lime juice, red onion, tarragon, salt, and white pepper in a medium-size bowl and mix thoroughly with a whisk.

Brush the fish fillets with the sauce and place (top side down) on a hot, oiled grill. Turn after about five minutes, or when the fish is halfway cooked. After turning, brush the tops of the fillets with a small amount of additional grilling sauce.

Continue cooking for about five more minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked through. Garnish with a sprinkling of fresh chopped tarragon and a slice of lime.

Cook's Note: Use just-caught varieties from your own fishing expeditions, or try fresh salmon for a twist.

Mount Royal grocery store provided the fresh caught fish, and this recipe did not disappoint. We grilled it on foil (winter).... saved the recipe for a future special company meal, it was excellent.

We have made this for years and it is fantastic. May be the very best way to eat fresh Superior Lake Trout. Just make sure your grill is clean and well oilled.
