Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Grill: Lightly oil the grate of an outdoor grill to prevent sticking. Arrange lemon slices in a slightly overlapping pattern on the oiled grate, creating a bed slightly larger than the trout fillet. (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

Preheat: Preheat the grill to medium heat, approximately 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (10 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Infuse the Oil: In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and shallot to the skillet and sauté until the garlic is lightly golden and fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season generously with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Squeeze the juice from the reserved lemon ends over the mixture for a burst of acidity. (5 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Grill the Trout: Gently place the steelhead trout fillet, skin-side down, directly onto the bed of lemon slices. Brush the garlic-herb infused oil mixture evenly over the top of the fillet. (2 minutes)

06

Step
10 mins

Cook to Perfection: Grill the trout until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet. Avoid overcooking to maintain its delicate texture. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Serve Immediately: Carefully remove the grilled steelhead trout from the grill and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill, and a lemon wedge for an extra touch of brightness.

For best results, use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
Shallots offer a slightly milder and sweeter flavor than onions, complementing the delicate taste of the trout.
Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the trout fillet.
Ensure the grill is preheated to the correct temperature for even cooking.
Do not overcrowd the pan.
