Grilled Trout with Lemon Thyme and Lemon Time: 20 minutes
2 trout - or whole fish of your choice
1 lemon
1 bunch lemon thyme - if you have it or can get it, regular thyme if not.
Have whoever you buy your fish from clean them and cut the heads off. (Or you can do it yourself but why?) Slice lemon. Put lemon slices and lemon thyme inside the fish - as much as you can stuff in. Secure shut with one or more toothpicks - if possible. Put the fish in grill basket or on a grill mat and cook on barbecue grill over medium heat about 10 minutes a side or until done, turning once. Can also be baked or cooked under the broiler. Times will vary according to the size and thickness of the fish. When done the flesh should be opaque. I skinned each fish and took out the back bone, lemons and thyme before serving but it also makes a nice presentation served whole.
