Directions

Prep 5 minCook 10 min

1
Place the trout in the center of a large piece of tin foil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chopped garlic and top with lemon slices and thin strips of butter.
2
Wrap the tin foil up around the trout and roll the edges together to create a tight seal.
3
Grill for 3-5 minutes on one side, then flip the foil pack and grill the other side for the same amount of time.
4
Carefully open the tin foil pack to check if it is cooked. The fish meat will easily flake off the bone with a fork when it is done. If it isn’t fully cooked, wrap the fish back up in the tin foil and grill another few minutes on both sides.
