Rinse the trout under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, dill, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
Brush the inside and outside of the trout with the marinade, ensuring even coverage.
Place thin slices of lemon inside the cavity of each trout for added flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the trout on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the skin is crispy and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the trout from the grill and transfer them to a platter.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus. Enjoy!
