Plank-Grilled Ginger-Herb Trout

After tinkering with the herbs and spices of my go-to fish recipe, I decided to grill the fish on a plank and what a world of difference it made! Hands down, this is now one of our favorite ways to cook fish. —Judy Castranova, New Bern, North Carolina

    4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 grilling planks
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Directions

  • Soak planks in water at least 1 hour. Combine butter, ginger, herbs, honey, lemon zest, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
