Melt half a stick of margarine then mix in a heaping
tablespoon of honey mustard and season with dill weed and garlic powder.
For trout, score the sides (make 1 1/2 inch cuts just cutting the skin) about 3 or 4
per side.
Using a hot grill, spray the rack or cover with foil, cut slits in the foil and then
spray with a non-stick coating like PAM.
Lay the fish on the grill and baste heavily with sauce.
After 4 minutes turn the fish and baste again. Cook another 4 minute and check with
a fork (like a potato) and if you meet no resistance then they are done (catfish are
thicker and will take a bit longer than the trout).
If you filleted before cooking, don't
cut the skin and begin grilling flesh down.
For BROILING follow sauce and timing above. Broil on Hi 4 inches from broiler. Sauce
bastes 6-8 trout.
