Spicy Grilled Trout

Looking for a fiery twist on a classic? This Spicy Grilled Trout is bursting with flavor and perfect for your next cookout!

Ingredients:

• 2 whole trout, cleaned and gutted (about 1 lb / 450 g each)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, or dill) for garnish
• Lemon wedges for serving

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a flavor-packed marinade.
2. Rub this delicious mixture generously inside and out of the trout. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes to soak up all those vibrant flavors.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
4. Place the trout on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it’s beautifully flaky and cooked through.
5. Once done, transfer the trout to a platter, sprinkle with fresh herbs for that pop of color and freshness, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Enjoy this tasty dish with friends and family while savoring the smoky, spicy goodness!
