Published by Chatelaine on 8/1/2009

Melon isn't just for breakfast and dessert: We've paired it with spinach and cucumber to make a nutritious salad bed for our smoky grilled trout.

Add to Grocery List
  1. Oil grill and heat barbecue to medium-high. Place chutney in a small bowl. Remove chunks from chutney and chop finely, then return to bowl. Whisk in lemon juice, 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil and salt. Peel melon and chop coarsely. Slice tomatoes if you like. Place in a large bowl with cucumber and spinach.
  2. In another small bowl, whisk 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil with maple syrup, cumin and pinches of salt. Brush over fish. Place fillets on grill, skin-side down. Cover and barbecue, without turning, until a knife tip inserted in centre for 10 sec comes out warm, about 8 min.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk chutney dressing and toss with salad. Place on a platter or plates. Remove cooked fish by sliding a large spatula between skin and flesh. Carefully lift trout, leaving skin on the grill. Place on salad. Sprinkle with chives.
