Ingredients

  • 2 whole rainbow trout, cleaned
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup mixed greens (arugula, spinach, etc.)
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper (if using), lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Rub the marinade all over the rainbow trout, ensuring the inside is well coated as well.

  4. 4

    Place the trout on the grill and cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    While the fish is grilling, prepare the salad by tossing together mixed greens, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro in a large bowl.

  6. 6

    Once the trout is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a minute before serving it on a plate with a generous portion of salad on the side.
