Grilled Whole Trout with String Beans & Almonds

Rainbow trout is a firm, mild, nutty flavored fish that is easy to cook and eat, especially since there are not a lot of bones once you lift the main skeleton from the fish. This delicious treat was made for me (yes i was served this seduction meal, by my friends when they came to visit). It is always good to know a few recipes that are simple cooked meals with a few ingredients, easy to whip up in moments.   Here’s another trout recipe I made last year that I loved! I really need to make this again soon: Trout Tacos
