BBQ Ocean Trout
Ingredients:
1 ocean trout (not more than 2 kg/4.4lb)
2 tomatoes
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp minced garlic
A bunch of fresh dill
Salt and pepper
Method:
1. Chop the tips of the dill and put the sprigs aside. Mix the mayonnaise with chopped dill, garlic, salt and pepper. Using your hands rub the fish inside out with the 2/3 of the mayonnaise mixture.
2. Slice tomatoes, lay the slices inside the fish along with the remaining dill sprigs and mayonnaise mixture.
3. Wrap the whole fish in the aluminium foil and if possible leave it aside for 30 minutes, for better results the fish needs to be at room temperature to start a cooking process.
4. BBQ on medium-high heat, less than 200C/392F. Calculate the timing, approximately 1.5 minute on each side per 500g/1.1lb of fish. For example, 2kg fish 6 minutes on each side.
5. Alternatively the fish can be baked at 185C/365F. For example, 2kg/4.4lb fish needs about 50 minutes.
