Grilled Trout with White Beans and Caper VinaigretteLisa Hubbard

If you've got some fresh-caught trout, we know just what to do with it. This incredible main-plus-side requires very few ingredients and is easy enough to make at your campsite or cabin. (And you can use store-bought, too: In that case, you should ask your fishmonger to bone and butterfly the whole trout for you.)

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    30 minutes

  • Yield

    Makes 2 servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup minced shallots
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon drained capers
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 15-ounce can white beans, rinsed, drained
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
2 10-ounce cleaned boned butterflied trout
1 cup coarsely sliced arugula

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Cook butter in small skillet over medium heat until brown, stirring often, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in oil, then shallots, vinegar, capers, and rosemary. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Mix beans, lemon peel, and 2 tablespoons vinaigrette in medium skillet. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Brush a little vinaigrette over flesh side of trout; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place skillet with beans on edge of grill to warm through. Grill trout, flesh side down, until brown, about 2 minutes. Turn trout over; grill until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer trout to plates. Mix arugula into warm beans; spoon alongside trout. Rewarm remaining vinaigrette; spoon over trout and beans.
