Newbie needs help with trout .

Unknown

Hello,[p]I have had my green egg for about a month now and must say that I absolutely love it! This morning I was in my supermarket and bought some pretty nice looking trout, and was wondering if someone out there had some suggestions on how to cook them in my BGE.[p]

CESARH,
i like to cook the fish @ 400 - 450 F dome with an indirect setup - platesetter in place. when the egg reaches temp, if you have a cedar plank, place the dry plank in the egg. the idea is to get the plank slightly charred where it will begin to smoke. if you don't have a cedar plank, then get one. it will make all of the difference in the world. make sure it is cooking grade. meanwhile prepare the following mixture 6 tbsp butter, 2 cloves garlic chopped finely, 2 tbsp fresh thyme, juice of 1 lemon, 1 tbsp maple syrup (preferably grade B, A is ok but definitely not aunt jemimah). mix together and melt in the microwave on medium. i like to rub the fish with a light coating of john henry's pecan rub. pour half on the butter mixture on the fish. place the fish on the cedar plank. cook until the fish is flaky. don't overcook. don't walk away from the egg. this will only take about 12-15 minutes. when the fish is done, remove the plank and fish from the egg. pour the remainder of the butter mixture on the fish. cover with foil. let it rest for 5 - 10 minutes. now enjoy!

Markkal123's recipe sounds great. If you want a different approach, I put about a tablespoon or so of olive oil on the trout and then spread a mixture of panko bread crumbs, minced pecans, garlic, salt and pepper to form a little crust on top. (I get the bread crumb mixture at Whole Foods grocery store, but it doesn't look like it would be too hard to duplicate at home.) I add pecan chips to the fire and cook direct (skin side down) at around 350-400 degrees. If you want bread crumbs to be crunchy, cook it at around 400 degrees and use a grill extender of some sort to get the trout up a little higher in the dome. It is done in about 7-11 minutes (no flipping needed, just leave it skin side down the whole time). My wife and kids love it.
