1
Clean the Trout
Rinse the Idaho rainbow trout under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Ensure that the fish is cleaned and scaled properly.
2
Marinate the Fish
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves (finely chopped), fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Rub this marinade all over the trout, inside and out, ensuring it is well coated. Allow the trout to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3
Prepare Lemon Slices
Cut the lemon into thin slices. These will be placed inside the cavity of the trout before grilling.

4
Prepare the Grill
Soak the wooden grill planks in water for at least 1 hour before grilling to prevent them from burning on the grill.
5
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 200°C).
6
Grill the Trout
Place the soaked wooden grill planks on the preheated grill. Once heated, place the marinated trout on the planks, stuffing each fish with lemon slices. Close the grill lid and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7
Serve
Remove the plank from the grill and carefully transfer the trout to a serving platter. Garnish with additional fresh dill and lemon wedges if desired.
