Trout on the Grill with Lemon and Tarragon

A big thank you to Harrietta Hills Trout Farm for allowing me to share their grilled trout recipe with you.

I had the honor of going and visiting their Trout Farm and having Dan (the owner of Harrietta Hills Trout Farm), cook this recipe for me.

I am not a fish fan, but this was not a fishy fish meal.  I’m sure you will enjoy it.  Takes about 6 minutes to make.

You need to have a hot grill.

If you have a lot of trout to cook, you can take a pan with sides and layer your trout and put the seasoning mix on, then add salt and pepper.  Add another layer on top and repeat.  Then put on the grill as space allows and cook up.

How Can I Tell When the Trout Is Cooked Through?

The fish should be opaque throught the fish. This takes roughly 3 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness.
