Ingredients
- Rainbow trout fillets
- 4 (6-ounce) fillets
- Olive oil
- 1/4 cup
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed)
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Lemon slices

Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- Rinse the rainbow trout fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped dill to create a flavorful marinade.
- Season both sides of the trout fillets generously with salt and pepper. Then, brush the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Place the trout fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes without moving them, allowing the skin to crisp up.
- Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the trout from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the grilled rainbow trout hot, garnished with extra dill and lemon slices for an added touch of brightness.
Tips
- For an extra flavor boost, marinate the trout for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Feel free to substitute fresh dill with other herbs such as parsley or thyme for a different flavor profile.
- Grilled vegetables or a fresh salad pair wonderfully with this dish for a complete meal.
