Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets trout fillets (skin-on)
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 wedges lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle both sides with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper.
Place a fresh rosemary sprig on the flesh side of each fillet, gently pressing it in to adhere.
Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and the flesh starts to flake easily.
Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the rosemary side. Remove from the grill and set aside to rest for a moment.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Let the butter mixture simmer gently for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
To serve, plate each trout fillet and drizzle generously with the lemon butter sauce. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with a lemon wedge on the side for extra brightness.
