Ingredients

  • 4 steelhead trout fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place the steelhead trout fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  4. Remove the fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
  5. Place the trout fillets on the preheated grill, skin side down. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
  6. Once cooked, remove the fillets from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  7. Serve the grilled steelhead trout hot, garnished with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  8. Enjoy!
