Ingredients

  • 2 whole trout, cleaned and scaled
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups mixed greens
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Rub the marinade all over the cleaned trout, making sure to coat both the inside and outside.

  4. 4

    Place the marinated trout on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

  5. 5

    While the trout is grilling, toss the mixed greens with lemon juice and chopped cilantro in a bowl to make a fresh salad.

  6. 6

    Once cooked, remove the trout from the grill and serve immediately with the mixed green salad on the side.

  7. 7

    Drizzle additional olive oil and lemon juice over the grilled trout before serving for extra flavor.
