Grilled Trout Florentine Recipes

Steps:

• Refrigerate the steaks, uncovered, at least 4 hours or overnight. (This dries out the meat's surface so it develops a better char.)
• Prepare a grill for indirect heat: For gas, preheat to medium high, 30 minutes, then turn off the burners on one side and turn the other burners to medium low. For charcoal, once the coals ash over, push them to one side. Rub the steaks with the garlic and let sit at room temperature, 30 minutes.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Sear the steaks over direct heat until charred on the bottom, 5 to 10 minutes. Turn, season with salt and pepper and char the other side, 5 to 10 more minutes. Turn the steaks again and transfer to the cooler side of the grill with the smaller ends away from the heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and grill, turning every 2 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 125 degrees F for medium rare, 8 to 12 minutes.
• Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Rub each trout generously with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt; sprinkle inside of cavities with salt and black pepper. Place half the lemon and onion slices into cavity of each trout, along with minced garlic, and place a sprig of rosemary and thyme into cavities.
• Turn preheated grill down to low and place the trout directly onto the grill; cook until flesh flakes easily and the skins are browned, 6 to 7 minutes per side, flipping once.

Steps:

• Brush olive oil over chicken breasts. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat.
• Place chicken on grill rack; cover and grill over medium heat 4 minutes, turning once until there are grill marks on both sides of chicken.
• In large skillet, place partially cooked chicken. Add tomatoes, spinach and oregano leaves; cover and cook over low heat about 10 to 12 minutes, or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when center of thicket pieces are cut and spinach is wilted.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place chicken breasts on serving platter; spoon tomato mixture with spinach over chicken. Sprinkle cheese over top (the carry-over heat will melt it nicely). Sprinkle fresh basil over top for garnish.

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Brush trout on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, skin-side down, until slightly charred and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully turn each fish over and continue cooking until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Remove from the grill and top each with 2 tablespoons Lemon-Parsley Butter. Garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon wedges and serve.
• Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.

Steps:

Steps:

• Cut 3 shallow gashes on each side of the fish.
• Rub fish with the salt and pepper, and arrange side by side in an oblong pan or dish.
• Mix wine, lemon juice, and rind.
• Pour the mixture over fish and let marinate for 2 hours, turning a few times.
