1
Prepare the Trout
Rinse the trout fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
2
Prepare the Smoker
Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Drain and place them in the smoker box or directly on the coals if using a charcoal grill.
3
Smoke the Trout
Preheat your smoker to 180°F (82°C). Place the trout fillets on the grill grates, skin side down, and close the lid. Smoke for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the trout is flaky and has absorbed a nice smoky flavor.
4
Serve
Remove the smoked trout from the smoker and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
