Fantastic Grilled Rainbow Trout

Homebrewguy

Tuesday night I grilled some rainbow trout which turned out fantastic!  I seasoned it with salt and pepper, then topped it with some dill and lemon slices.

I grilled it in my grill basket at 400 degrees for about 14 minutes (7 minutes per side).  It turned out perfectly cooked, quite moist, and quite tasty.

One of my favorite meals is grilled trout - love it. 

Looks great, @Homebrewguy!

hmmm... that looks more like salmon than rainbow trout.  Who's your fish monger?  looks delish either way but I get rainbows from my grocer and they don't look so salmony.  Different flavor profile.

I just brined and smoked 5 fillets yesterday. They are delicious this way.  This is before going on the BGE for several hours at 200 with cherry chunks

I can assure you that they weren't salmon. Trout and salmon look similar, but trout fillets aren't normally as thick.

@GlennM  What did you brine them in?  I love trout also.  Tried some smoked trout, but it was a little strong with pecan wood for my taste.

Coarse salt, white and brown sugar, bit of lemon juice. Sprinkled with some dizzy dust and brushed with Drambuie near the end. Vac seals and in the fridge now!

Looks great.  My family went up to do some trout fishing in North GA for the 4th of July and had a great time.  Trout turned out great.  Yours looks awesome.
