Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Trout

    Rinse the trout fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Fillets

    In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the trout fillets.

  3. 3

    Prepare for Smoking

    Drizzle the olive oil over the seasoned fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Smoke the Trout

    Preheat your smoker to 200°F (93°C). Place the trout fillets in the smoker and smoke for about 1 hour, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once smoked, remove the trout from the smoker and drizzle with fresh lemon juice and garnish with fresh dill. Serve immediately.
