Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh whole trout (cleaned and gutted)
- 2 whole lemon
- 1 bunch fresh parsley
- 1 bunch fresh dill
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 100 milliliters white wine
Instructions
Rinse the trout under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Slice the lemons thinly and set aside. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Brush the inside and outside of each trout generously with the olive oil mixture.
Stuff the cavities of each trout with lemon slices, fresh parsley, and fresh dill. If desired, place a small pat of butter inside each fish for extra flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the trout on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and cook for another 6-7 minutes. The fish is done when the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the white wine and remaining lemon slices over low heat for 5 minutes to create a light sauce.
Once the trout is cooked, transfer them onto a serving platter.
Drizzle the white wine and lemon sauce over the trout, garnish with additional fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
