granddad ken's crispy grilled trout with parsley and lemon
My granddad used to take me fishing when I was about six years old. He has sadly passed away, but the one thing I thank him for is teaching me not to be scared of bones when eating fish.
Ingredients

• olive oil
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• a large bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked and chopped

Preheat your grill to full whack. Slash each trout with a knife, about
ten times on each side. Each slash should be about 0.5cm/¼ inch deep.
Rub the trout with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Stuff the
cavities with plenty of chopped parsley and the lemon slices. Place the
fish side by side on a baking rack over a roasting tray.
Put the lemon zest on top of the fish and place the lemon halves on the
tray too. Dot the trout with the butter and place it 15cm/6 inches from
the grill. Cook for around 6 minutes on each side until crispy and
golden.
Squeeze the roasted lemon over the top of the fish and serve with a simple crunchy side salad.
