Servings: 4

Ingredients

Steelhead fillets
4 (6-ounce) fillets
Olive oil
1/4 cup
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Dried dill
2 teaspoons
Salt
1 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Fresh dill
for garnish
Lemon wedges
for serving

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, dried dill, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Place the steelhead fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring that the fillets are evenly coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the steelhead fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
  5. Place the fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Once cooked, carefully remove the grilled steelhead from the grill and serve hot.
  7. Garnish with fresh dill and serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
