This recipe offers a delightful way to prepare trout, combining the zesty flavor of lime with aromatic herbs for a dish that's both simple and delicious.
Combine the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, black pepper, cayenne pepper, lime zest, and lime juice in a plastic zipper bag.
Ensure the bag is sealed tightly to prevent any leaks while mixing.
Add the trout fillets to the bag, seal, and gently massage to coat the fish evenly with the marinade.
Lay the bag flat in the refrigerator to ensure even marination.
Place the bag in the refrigerator and let the trout marinate for at least 2 hours.
For a stronger flavor, marinate the trout overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Remove the trout from the marinade and discard the marinade.
Brush the grill with oil to prevent the fish from sticking.
Grill the trout for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Use a fish spatula for easier handling of the fillets.
Serve the grilled trout with a garnish of fresh thyme and lime wedges.
Pair with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
