Roasted Pine Nut Pesto-Stuffed Wild Michigan Trout

by livefirerepublic

Such an incredible fresh catch live fire feast prepared and served alongside one of my best fishing buddies, @GirlCarnivore!!

Wild brown and rainbow trout harvested from the icy, pristine waterways of northern Michigan. Seasoned simply, stuffed with roasted pine nut and parsley pesto, meyer lemon, sauteed shallots and an aromatic bouquet of fresh herbs. Skewered from snout to trail, then grilled over a pit of smoldering Cowboy Lump Charcoal embers until 135F internal temperature. Finished with a splash of olive oil and grate of lemon zest. These bad boys were so sweet, tender and flaking from the bone. Just crazy beautiful. Life just doesn’t get much better than this. -Cheers and long live the adventure, David

Roasted Pine Nut Pesto-Stuffed Wild Michigan Trout

Ingredients

  • 6-8 Wild Michigan Trout, gutted and cleaned
  • Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons granulated garlic powder
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground peppercorn, to taste
  • 1 cup toasted pine nut pesto, homemade or store-bought
  • 2-3 lemons, finely sliced
  • 1/2 cup shallots, finely diced
  • Fresh sprigs of thyme, plus additional to garnish
  • Fresh curly parsley, chopped
  • Lemon of zest

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill by lighting a full chimney of charcoal and position for direct grilling. Prepare the fish by scoring filets on both sides of the fish, then skewer the trout through the mouth and out the tail. Brush inside and out with olive oil, then season liberally with salt, pepper and garlic. Fill each cavity with a tablespoon of pesto, add shallot, lemon and fresh herbs. Grill the fish over medium-high direct heat for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and tent for at least 5 minutes prior to serving. Garnish with thyme leaves and lemon zest. Splash with olive oil, season additionally, to taste, and serve.

Rosemary-encrusted dry-aged and slowly smoked prim Rosemary-encrusted dry-aged and slowly smoked prime rib roast!! Rubbed in an earthy blend of fresh herbs, roasted garlic, dried onion and black peppercorn. Tied down with butcher's twine. Prepared to mouthwatering, medium-rare perfection while bathed in the essence of hickory and oak wood inside my @TwinEaglesGrills Pellet Grill. This glorious hunk of All-American beef was started at 225F of indirect heat for an hour, then removed from the grill for 15 minutes to rest. Placed back in the grill at 450F and basted intermittently with a rosé of browned butter and beef fat until 120F internal temp. Rested for 30 minutes, carved into gargantuan steaks, then served alongside several glasses of ice cold and golden adult beverages. Cheers, my friends!! -David

Check out these monster 2.5 pound barbecued turkey Check out these monster 2.5 pound barbecued turkey wings!!! These bad boys were beer-brined overnight then seasoned boldly in a chipotle chili, granulated honey, dried herb and roasted garlic rub.

Then slowly finished alongside indirect heat while I baste layer upon caramelized layer of a buttery homemade chipotle honey hot sauce. Paired with a tangy kale slaw, a tall pour of locally crafted stout, and all served next to the bonfire on a crisp evening here in pure Michigan. -Cheers my friend, David
