Ingredients
  

  • 4 steelhead trout fillets about 6 ounces each
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, parsley, dill, chives, and minced garlic. Mix until well combined and set aside.
  3. Pat the steelhead trout fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the trout fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  5. During the last minute of cooking, spoon a generous amount of the herb butter over each fillet to melt.
  6. Remove the trout from the grill and drizzle with lemon juice. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
