Why This Recipe Works

We brushed a mixture of mayonnaise, dill, Dijon, and honey on the trout to flavor it and prevent it from sticking on the grill.

Before You Begin

Serve with lemon wedges.

  1. Microwave potatoes in large bowl, covered, until edges of potatoes are translucent, about 7 minutes, shaking bowl halfway through microwaving; drain well.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon oil and ½ teaspoon salt to bowl with potatoes and toss to coat. Toss broccolini with ¼ teaspoon salt and remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Open fish and sprinkle flesh and skin sides with remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Combine mayonnaise, dill, mustard, honey, and pepper in small bowl.
