Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets trout fillets (skin-on)
- 0.5 cup unsweetened apple juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 apple green apple, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground allspice, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the trout fillets in a shallow dish, skin-side down, and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the trout fillets from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Reserve the marinade for brushing during grilling.
Place the trout fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for 4-5 minutes, then gently brush with the reserved marinade.
Carefully flip the fillets and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, brushing with more marinade, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While grilling the trout, place the thinly sliced green apple on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side, until slightly caramelized and tender.
Remove the trout and apple slices from the grill. Serve the trout fillets topped with the grilled apple slices and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
