TROUT WITH BACON

The smoky, savory flavor of crisp grilled bacon perfectly complements the delicate flesh of the trout in this simple dish.

INGREDIENTS
4 trout, cleaned and gutted
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
4 slices lean smoked bacon
2 tablespoons olive oil
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt and freshly ground black pepper

SERVES 4

1. Place the trout on a chopping board and pat dry with paper towels. Season the flour with the salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stretch the bacon slices out thinly using the back of a heavy kitchen knife.

2. Roll the fish in the seasoned flour mixture and wrap tightly in the bacon slices. Brush with olive oil and cook on a medium-hot grill for 10—15 minutes, turning once. Serve at once, with the lemon juice drizzled on top.
