Ingredients
Whole Trout in Foil
- Ingredients
- 2 Fennel bulb (each about 6 ounces)
- 2 tsps Caper (from a jar)
- 4 Tbsps olive oil
- salt
- peppers
- ½ cup vegetable stock
- 4 Steelhead trout (each about 5-6 ounces)
- 1 Lime
- 1 pinch Saffron (1 gram)
Trim fennel, rinse, cut in half and cut into thin slices. Drain the capers.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sauté fennel 3-4 minutes and season with salt and pepper. Add drained capers and stir in broth.
Fold 4 pieces of aluminum foil (each 12 x 12 inches) at the edges slightly upwards, so that liquid cannot escape. Distribute fennel on aluminum foil.
Rinse trout fillets, pat dry and place each fillet on a fennel serving. Season with salt and pepper.
Cut lime in half and squeeze juice. In a small bowl, mix 4 tablespoons lime juice with the remaining olive oil and brush or drizzle on the trout fillets.
Sprinkle with saffron threads and seal the aluminum foil firmly. Cook on the hot grill for 12-15 minutes.
