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

Black pepper

Lemon slices

for garnish

Extra dill

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
2. Rinse the rainbow trout fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped dill to create a flavorful marinade.
4. Season both sides of the trout fillets generously with salt and pepper. Then, brush the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Remove the trout from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
8. Serve the grilled rainbow trout hot, garnished with extra dill and lemon slices for an added touch of brightness.
