-
2 whole trout, cleaned and butterflied (about 10–12 oz each)
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tsp lemon zest
-
Juice of 1 lemon
-
1 tsp sea salt
-
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
-
1 tsp paprika (optional, for smoky depth)
-
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
-
1 tbsp fresh dill or thyme, chopped
-
Lemon slices, for stuffing and garnish
Ingredients
-
Preheat the grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high (about 375–400°F). Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. -
Prepare the seasoning
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, paprika (if using), and chopped herbs. -
Season the trout
Pat the trout dry with paper towels. Brush the inside and outside of each fish with the seasoned oil mixture. Stuff the cavity of each trout with lemon slices and a few extra sprigs of herbs if desired. -
Grill the trout
Place the trout skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Use a fish spatula to turn carefully. -
Serve
Remove from the grill and let rest for 1–2 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and an extra sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Enjoy!
