Smoked Trout with Garlic Dill Butter

This recipe celebrates the daily catch and serves up a rich buttery flavor to compliment the light and delicious fresh trout. Add some grilled potatoes and a simple salad for the perfect meal.

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: Approx. 1 hour


Ingredients:

  • 2-3 Whole Trout
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp coarse cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh chopped dill
  • 2 fine diced garlic cloves
  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil


Preparation:

  1. Clean trout, remove the head and remove all bones as best you can. Click here for video on how to prep your fish.
  2. With the trout clean and ready, lay the fish on with the skin side down and brush a light layer of olive oil. Then sprinkle a ½ tsp of salt and ½ tsp of pepper to taste.
  3. In a saucepan over low heat, combine butter, olive oil, garlic, dill and a pinch of black pepper. Heat on low for 10 minutes to allow butter to melt and flavors to come together.
  4. Start your grill and set temp to 225-degrees.  When up to temp, place the fish on the grill, skin side down.
  5. Cook for about 30 minutes with the grill lid closed. Brush on about ¼ of the butter mixture then close the grill. Brush on more of the butter mixture every 10-15 minutes until the fish is cooked through.
  6. Remove from the grill, let’s sit for 5 minutes and serve.
