Ingredients

  • 1 whole Rainbow Trout ((roughly 1 lb), de-boned)
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1 lime
  • 5 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Salt and ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat grill to medium. (You should be able to hold your hand 4 inches over the cooking grate for 5-6 seconds.

  2. 2

    Prepare the fish by sprinkling the cavity and exterior with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with lemon and lime slices and the sprigs of fresh thyme.

  3. 3

    Place the fish on a hot, clean grill grate. (Both hot and clean are very important here for making sure your fish doesn’t stick to the grill!)

  4. 4

    Cover and grill 5 minutes. When the fish is ready to flip, the skin will release easily from the grill grate.

  5. 5

    Flip, cover the grill, and cook an additional 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve warm with a green salad or rice.
