Grilled Steelhead Trout with Lemon-Dill Marinade

Ingredients

• Steelhead trout fillet (1 lb)
• Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
• Fresh dill (2 tablespoons, chopped)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Lemon (1, juiced and zested)
• Salt (1 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped dill, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place the steelhead trout fillet in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the fish is well-coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it is well-oiled to prevent sticking.
4. Remove the trout from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
5. Place the trout fillet on the grill, skin side down. Close the lid and cook for about 7 minutes.
6. Gently flip the trout using a spatula and grill for an additional 7 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
7. Once cooked, remove the trout from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of additional dill for garnish.
