Sweet revenge

We had trout for dinner last night; payback for the two broken rods. I doubt these fish were personally responsible, but they became martyrs anyway.

Recipe:
Trout with prosciutto and Sage

4 Dressed trout (about 10 oz each)
Fresh Sage Leaves
prosciutto
Grated zest of 1 lemon
5 T unsalted butter
2 T fresh lemon juice
1 t fresh ground pepper
Salt
Olive oil

Score the trout 2-3 times on each side in the meaty part of the fish. Sprinkle with salt & pepper. Place 3 sage leaves inside fish and wrap fish with prosciutto. Brush fish lightly with olive oil. Preheat grill on medium heat.

Grill fish 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fish flakes easily with fork. While fish is cooking, melt butter over low heat in small saucepan. Add grated lemon zest, lemon juice, and pepper. Mix well.

Plate fish on warmed plates. Drizzle with 2-3 tablespoons of butter sauce.

Enjoy!
