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.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

I'm baking it right now...it's the first time I'm making myself a trout.
Have tried it grilled with salt, pepper, oregano and it was great but never bought one to cook...

Hey Jamie,
I've been a massive fan of yours since you first appeared on telly all those years ago!. I live in Melbourne in Australia and have all of your recipe books and love cooking from them. I thought that I should share with you that one of my favorite recipes is your Fantastic Fish Pie - I've cooked it so many times and everytime someone new tries it, I'm almost guaranteed to be asked for the recipe! We're having a particularly cold snap today and it's been freezing cold, raining & windy all day. So, to warm the cockles of my husbands heart, I'm cooking my (sorry, your) Fantastic Fish Pie and sharing the recipe with a friend (who reminded me to send it to her).
Thanks Jamie, keep doing what you're doing, its terrific! Hope to see you soon in Melbourne!
Cheers,
Nina.

Have lost the recipe for prawn curry in May 2008 Sainsburys magazine. It was fantastic and I am devastated - can you give me a copy?

Jamie's Trout recipe and the Nice's Tray baked Lemon Sole are part of my menu for ever. These are both easy and delicious . 5 star everytime. Through these recipes of Jamie's I am cooking at last. The only regret is it has took me so long to discover them. I am now shell I say "middle aged".
Also where I live both trout and lemon sole are the best value for money fish on the market. This is a added bonus.

I don’t like fish this way……..poor fish…
I just eat filet fish because I don’t see it’s head.
