Preparation
Step 1
If your fish is frozen, thaw it at room temperature or on the bottom shelf of the fridge. Gut the trout, remove scales and gills. Rinse each fish thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Place the fish in a plastic bag, pour in white wine, and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Gently coat the fish with the marinade, seal the bag, and let it marinate for 20-30 minutes. In hot weather, marinate it in the refrigerator.
Step 3
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Peel the onion. Rinse and pat dry the mushrooms and onion. Slice the mushrooms thinly and cut the onion into half rings.
Step 4
Rinse and chop the greens finely - dill, green onions, parsley, or other herbs. Mix the mushrooms, onion, and greens. Add a little salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Spread foil on the table, brush it with butter, and place the trout on top. Stuff the fish with the mushroom-onion mixture.
Step 6
Sprinkle the top of the trout with salt and your favorite dried spices. I used a pinch of smoked paprika, ground allspice, and dried basil.
Step 7
Wrap the trout tightly in 3-4 layers of foil.
Step 8
Light the grill and wait until the wood burns down and only coals remain.
Step 9
Even out the coals and place the grill grate over them. Set the trout on the grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 10 minutes until done. Cooking time may vary depending on the heat intensity and amount of coals.
Step 10
Serve immediately while hot.
