Ingredients
- 4 pieces trout fillets
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 piece lemon, sliced into rounds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Heat should be at about 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the unsalted butter, minced garlic, fresh parsley, fresh thyme, and lemon juice until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
Brush both sides of the trout fillets with olive oil, and sprinkle evenly with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the trout fillets skin-side down on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil or a grill-safe pan. Place lemon slices over the fillets.
Step 5
Dollop the herb butter mixture evenly onto each fillet, ensuring it is spread across the surface.
Step 6
Transfer the foil or pan with the fillets onto the preheated grill. Close the grill lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the trout flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
Carefully remove the trout from the grill, and serve immediately. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired.
Step 8
Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
