Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• cooking spray
• 1 whole trout, cleaned
• 1 teaspoon spicy Hungarian paprika

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cut several diagonal slashes with a sharp knife in each side of trout. Mix lemon juice, vegetable oil, cumin, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt into a paste in a small bowl; apply to the sides of the fish, spreading it into the slashes. Refrigerate trout for 1 hour.

Step 2

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. A grill thermometer should read 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Spray a piece of aluminum foil large enough to hold the fish with cooking spray and place it onto the grill.

Step 3

Place trout onto the piece of foil and grill, turning one time, until the fish is opaque and the flesh flakes easily, about 5 minutes per side.
