Ingredients
- 1 whole Rainbow Trout (roughly 1 lb), de-boned
- ½ lemon
- 1 lime
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- Salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium. (You should be able to hold your hand 4 inches over the cooking grate for 5-6 seconds.
- 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.
- 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!)
- Cover and grill 5 minutes. When the fish is ready to flip, the skin will release easily from the grill grate.
- Flip, cover the grill, and cook an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve warm with a green salad or rice.
