Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-450°F). (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Assemble the Foil Packet: On a clean, flat surface, lay out two large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, overlapping them slightly to create a single, wide sheet. This ensures ample space to enclose the trout. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Prepare the Trout: Rinse the trout under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Place the trout in the center of the foil sheet, positioning them about 2 inches apart. (3 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Infuse with Flavor: Drizzle the white wine evenly over the trout, followed by the melted butter and fresh lemon juice. Generously season with chopped parsley, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Seal the Packet: Carefully fold the foil up and over the trout, creating a sealed packet. Crimp the edges tightly to ensure no steam escapes during cooking. This will help keep the fish moist and flavorful. (3 minutes)

06

Step
18 mins

Grill to Perfection: Place the foil packet directly on the preheated grill grates. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the trout is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish and the heat of your grill. (15-20 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the foil packet from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before opening. Garnish with extra fresh parsley and a lemon wedge. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious, wine-infused trout.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding thinly sliced lemon rounds, shallots, or fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the foil packet.
Ensure the foil is tightly sealed to create a steaming effect, which helps to cook the trout evenly and retain moisture.
To check for doneness, gently open the foil packet and insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If it flakes easily, it's ready.

    I accidentally overcooked the fish a little, so I would recommend checking it after 15 minutes.
