 Bacon-Wrapped Trout - Instructions
Rinse the trout inside and out with cold running water, then blot dry. Generously
season inside and out with salt and pepper. Smear a little butter inside each trout
and place a scallion in the cavity. Arrange lemon slices in the cavities as well.
Smear a little more butter on the outside of each fish. Place one strip of bacon
lengthwise on each side of the trout. Tie the bacon to the fish in three places using
butcher's string. Trim any loose ends.
Set up your grill for direct grilling and preheat to high. Oil the fish basket.
Position the trout in the four compartments and close and fasten the basket. When you
are ready to cook, put the basket with the fish inside on the grill grate. Grill for 6
to 10 minutes, then turn the basket over and grill for 6 to 10 minutes more. When
done, the fish will break into clean flakes when you press the flesh with a finger.
Alternatively, a metal skewer inserted into the thickest part of the fish will come
