The selection at a fishmonger closest to my house is limited, so if I want to serve grilled rainbow trout it means a little bit more driving, but it’s worth it as this fish embodies the term ‘melt-in-your-mouth’.
The fillets that I buy are always butterflied and boneless with the spine and ribs removed, so ready to go. You can either cook them on the stove or in the oven, but I prefer to cook them on the barbecue.

How to Make Grilled Rainbow Trout
Step 1 – Rainbow trout is a very thin fillet, so grilling them on the barbecue takes just minutes and no need to turn them.
I always leave the skin on and place the fillets on a tray lined with aluminum foil. To avoid sticking to the foil, I spray it with cooking spray. Trout is a fatty fish so you can omit oil here.
Step 2 – Mix the spices with the salt and rub the fish with it. Cook the fish on a moderately high heat (approx. 35- degrees F) skin down and cook for about 5 minutes.
Serve the grilled rainbow trout with remoulade sauce or with pistou.
