1
Clean the Trout
Rinse the freshly caught trout under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, juice from half of the lemon, chopped fresh dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
3
Marinate the Trout
Rub the marinade all over the trout, including the inside cavity. Allow the trout to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

4
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).
5
Grill the Trout
Place the marinated trout on the grill, skin side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on one side.
6
Flip and Grill
Carefully flip the trout using a spatula and grill for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

7
Plate the Trout
Remove the grilled trout from the grill and place on a serving platter.
8
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with lemon wedges and extra fresh dill if desired. Serve immediately.
