Ingredients

• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• black pepper to taste
• garlic salt to taste
• 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
• 4 whole trout, cleaned
• 3 medium fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped
• 4 medium green onions, chopped
• ½ cup bell pepper, diced
• ½ cup peeled, diced ripe mango

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat a grill for medium heat, and place the rack 3 inches over the coals.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the green onions, cilantro, bell pepper, mango, olive oil, lime juice, garlic salt, and black pepper; set aside. Lightly coat four squares of foil with olive oil or cooking spray. Place fish diagonally on the foil, and stuff each with 1/4 of the mango stuffing. If it doesn't all fit inside the fish, then just place the remainder on top of the fish. Fold the corners of the foil over the head and tail of the fish, then fold the remaining corners over the body of the fish.

Step 3

Cook the packets on both sides for about 20 minutes total, until the fish has cooked and flakes easily.
