Garlic-Lime Marinated Trout

A simple citrus marinade is a perfect complement to trout’s delicate flavor. Whether you grill or broil the trout, you’ll love how easy it is to prepare this dish.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4; 3 ounces fish per serving

Ingredients

Marinade

2 teaspoons grated lime zest
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 trout fillets with skin (about 5 ounces each), rinsed
Cooking spray
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 medium lime, cut into 4 wedges

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large shallow dish, stir together the marinade ingredients. Add the fish, turning several times to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to 1 hour.

    Step 2

    Lightly spray the grill rack or broiler pan and rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill on medium high or preheat the broiler.

    Step 3

    Transfer the fish with the flesh side up to a large plate, discarding the marinade. Sprinkle the flesh side of the fish with the salt. Using your fingertips, gently press the salt so it adheres to the fish.

    Step 4

    If grilling, place the fish with the flesh side down on the grill and grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. If broiling, place the fish with the flesh side up on the broiler rack and broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 5 to 6 minutes without turning, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve with the lime wedges to squeeze over the fish.
