Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 fish (approximately 1 lb each) Fresh trout, cleaned and gutted
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Lemon
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 Fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the trout thoroughly under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and place them on a clean cutting board.
Using a sharp knife, make 2-3 shallow diagonal cuts on both sides of each fish. This ensures even cooking and allows the seasonings to penetrate.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Gently rub this mixture all over the trout, including inside the cavity and into the diagonal cuts.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and insert one or two slices inside each fish cavity, along with a thyme sprig and a few pinches of chopped parsley.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C). Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the trout directly onto the grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the fish, until the skin is crisp and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the trout from the grill and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with more fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
