Ingredients
- 2 whole fish trout (cleaned, gutted, and scaled)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Rinse the trout under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place the fish on a clean surface or cutting board.
Step 3
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on each trout, spreading it evenly over both sides using your hands or a brush.
Step 4
Season both sides of the trout with salt and black pepper. Stuff the cavity of each trout with fresh parsley, thyme, and minced garlic.
Step 5
Cut the lemon into slices and place 2–3 slices inside the cavity as well for added flavor.
Step 6
Carefully place the trout on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, flipping only once, until the skin is slightly crispy and the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the trout from the grill and serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top.
