Sure thing! Season your steelhead trout with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, then grill the fish skin-side down for about 5-6 minutes. Flip it carefully and grill for another 4-5 minutes until it's cooked through and flakes easily. Enjoy!

Hey there! Grilling steelhead trout is a fantastic choice – it’s super tasty! I usually keep it simple with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon, maybe adding some garlic powder and paprika for extra flavor. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, then start with the fish skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes to get that nice crispy skin. Flip it carefully with a wide spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when it flakes easily with a fork and hits an internal temp of around 145°F. Sometimes I throw a few lemon slices or fresh herbs on top for a little extra zing.

Of course! For grilling steelhead trout, try seasoning it with a mix of lemon, garlic, and herbs like dill or thyme. Grill over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Don't forget to oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Enjoy your perfectly grilled trout!
