Prep Time
Prepping your trout for the grill should only take around 5-10 minutes. If you’re using fresh trout, you’ll need to clean and gut the fish first, which may take a little longer.
Cook Time

Ingredients
- 4 whole trout, cleaned and gutted - 2 tbsp olive oil - 1 tsp salt - 1 tsp black pepper - 2 lemons, sliced - Fresh herbs (such as parsley or thyme) for garnish
Equipment
- Grill - Tongs - Aluminum foil
Method
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. 2. Rub the trout with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. 3. Stuff the cavity of the trout with lemon slices and fresh herbs. 4. Wrap the trout in aluminum foil, making sure it’s tightly sealed. 5. Place the foil-wrapped trout on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through. 6. Remove the foil from the trout and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes to get a crispy skin. 7. Serve the grilled trout with additional lemon slices and fresh herbs for garnish.
Notes
