Grilled Rainbow Trout Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Trout

   Rinse the rainbow trout fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish.

2. 2

   Marinate

   In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Pour this mixture over the fillets and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Preheat the Grill

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and glowing.

4. 4

   Grill the Trout

   Place the marinated trout fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

5. 5

   Prepare the Glaze

   While the fish is grilling, prepare the dill butter or rosemary toasted almond honey glaze. For dill butter, mix 1/4 cup softened butter with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill and a pinch of salt. For almond honey glaze, toast 1/2 cup sliced almonds in a pan, then mix with 1/4 cup honey and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once cooked, remove the trout from the grill and top with your choice of dill butter or rosemary toasted almond honey glaze. Serve immediately.
