Grilled Trout Sandwich

I love making a good fish sandwich, and this recipe is the best I have.  It tops a delicious grilled trout with a tangy mayonnaise sauce all between chewy ciabatta bread.  I paired the sandwich with chips and a super simple tomato salad.

I start with ripe tomatoes.

 Chopped and seasoned with Balsamic vinegar and Kosher salt:

Ingredients for sauce:

 Mayonnaise sauce:

A fresh piece of fish is a must.  This is a fillet of Steelhead Trout.

Smother both sides with some of the sauce.

Grill skin side up for 1 minute, then flip and grill for 5-7 minutes more.

Chewy Ciabatta!

Grill!

Slather on tons of mayonnaise sauce and top with bun.  Enjoy!

Recipe:

1 lemon
1/4 C mayonnaise
1/4 C fresh basil
1/2 lb trout fillet
2 ciabatta buns

Zest and juice the lemon into a small bowl.  Add mayonnaise, chopped basil, and 1/8 tsp each of salt and pepper.
Rub about 1-2 Tbsp of mayo mixture on both sides of fish.  Grill fish skin side up over medium-high heat for 1 minute.  Flip and grill for 5-7 minutes.  Remove from grill.  Grill halved buns, then remove.
Place fish on bottom bun and spread mayo mixture on top bun.
Serve with remaining mixture.
