Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Steelhead Trout with Lemon.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your grill to a medium heat, aiming for around 350°F or 175°C.
Step 2
To ensure your fish doesn’t stick, lightly oil the grill grate.
Step 3
Next, create a flavorful base by arranging lemon slices on the grate, overlapping them slightly to form a surface that’s just a bit larger than your trout fillet.
Step 4
In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add minced garlic and onion, sautéing until the garlic turns a lovely golden brown, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 6
Season this aromatic mixture with salt and black pepper, then enhance the flavor by squeezing the reserved ends of the lemon over it.
Step 7
Now, with care, place the trout fillet skin-side down on the lemon slices.
Step 8
Generously brush the garlic and onion mixture over the top of the fillet, allowing those flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 9
Grill the trout for approximately 10 minutes, or until the flesh flakes effortlessly with a fork.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful aroma and the vibrant flavors that come together in this simple yet elegant dish.
