Ingredients

2 whole trout, cleaned
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 pinch coarse sea salt to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper
0.5 lemon, thinly sliced
0.5 sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme

Instructions

Prepare your ingredients. Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Coat the outside of each trout generously with olive oil and season with sea salt for enhanced flavor.
Season the inside of the fish with salt and black pepper. Stuff each trout with lemon and onion slices, minced garlic, a sprig of rosemary, and a sprig of thyme.
Reduce the grill heat to low. Place the trout directly on the grill grates. Cook until the fish flakes easily and the skin is browned and crispy, about 6 to 7 minutes per side, flipping carefully once.
