Ingredients
-
Freshly caught fish (trout, bass, or walleye), cleaned and filleted
-
Potatoes, sliced thinly
-
Onions, chopped
-
Green beans or seasonal vegetables
-
Cooking oil or butter
-
Salt, pepper, and lemon for seasoning
-
Optional: garlic, herbs (such as dill or parsley), and spices (like paprika or cayenne pepper)
Directions
Start a Fire: Begin by building a fire or setting up your portable grill. If using the Son of Burch Portable Grill, ensure it’s stable and ready for cooking.
Prepare the Ingredients: While the fire settles to a bed of coals or the grill heats up, prepare your ingredients. Season the fish fillets with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. Slice the potatoes and onions, and prepare the green beans or other vegetables.
Cook the Potatoes and Onions: In a skillet or pan, heat the oil or melt the butter over the fire or grill. Add the sliced potatoes and onions, cooking them until they are golden brown and tender. Add a touch of garlic or spices for extra flavor.
Grill the Fish: Place the seasoned fish fillets on the grill or in another pan. Cook them until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, usually about 3-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Steam the Vegetables: In a pot or another pan, steam the green beans or seasonal vegetables until they are just tender, preserving their natural crunch and flavor.
Serve and Enjoy: Combine the elements on a plate or enjoy them straight from the cookware. The crispy potatoes, savory fish, and fresh vegetables create a harmonious blend of flavors that encapsulate the essence of the outdoor experience.
