End of Summer Grilled Trout Menu

A super-hot Indian Summer day and some luscious fresh trout fillets were the inspiration for this menu, which relies on quickly and easily prepared dishes that do not require turning on the oven. This menu was prepared from start to finish in less than 40 minutes by one person - two people can easily do it in less time, with one watching the grill and the other preparing the salad and dessert.

The salad ingredients can be prepared in advance and tossed at the last minute and the peach sauce can be made up to a day in advance - allowing you and your guests to relax around the grill with the Sangria and Canapes while dinner cooks for an informal dinner.

The Recipes

Peach and Brie Canapes
Peach and Lemon Sangria
