The Best BBQ Cedar Plank Trout with Beurre Blanc

Directions

• BBQing the trout
• Submerge the cedar plank in water for 30 minutes. When 5 minutes are left, turn all burners of your BBQ to high. When the plank has soaked, place it on the grill for 3 minutes to dry it and allow it to start smoking.
• Pat the trout fillet dry with a paper towel and put the salt, the pepper and the paprika on the meat side.
• Place the trout fillet on the heated cedar plank. Close the lid of your BBQ and reduce the elements to obtain a temperature of 400 F in the BBQ.
• Cook for 20 minutes with the lid closed. Then, remove the plank and the trout from the BBQ. The trout is done.
• The beurre parfait
• While the trout is cooking, place a small sauce pan on medium heat, add 1 tbsp of butter and the shallots. Cook them until translucid.
• Add the white wine and let cook for 2 minutes to evaporate the alcohol.
• Add the cream, the lemon juice and lemon zest. Reduce for 2 more minutes. Incorporate 1/4 cup of butter while constantly stirring. When the butter is melted, add the dill and add salt to taste.
• You are now done! Serve the trout fillet with a generous amount of beurre parfait on a bed of rice with your favorite blanched or grilled vegetables.
