Whole Grilled Trout Recipe

  • 2 whole trout, cleaned
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
  • 1 pinch coarse sea salt to taste
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  2. Rub each trout generously with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt; sprinkle inside of cavities with salt and black pepper. Place half the lemon and onion slices into cavity of each trout, along with minced garlic, and place a sprig of rosemary and thyme into cavities.
  3. Turn preheated grill down to low and place the trout directly onto the grill; cook until flesh flakes easily and the skins are browned, 6 to 7 minutes per side, flipping once.
