Cooking the cherry tomatoes in a grill basket allows you to have the flavour of barbecuing and control in cooking. The salsa accents the trout but also works with grilled chicken or nacho chips. The fish only needs a little oil and its flavour will shine through. Grilling is a tasty, healthy method for cooking fish.
