Cedar Plank Trout is a delightful dish that infuses the natural flavors of cedar into tender, flaky trout. This Paleo-friendly BBQ recipe highlights the freshness of the fish while offering a smoky aroma that's perfect for outdoor grilling.

Ingredients

• Trout fillets - 2 x 200g
• Cedar plank - 1 (soaked in water for at least 1 hour)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves (minced)
• Fresh dill - 2 tablespoons (chopped)
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon wedges - for serving

Steps

1. Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour to prevent it from catching fire on the grill.

3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper.
4. Pat the trout fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the soaked cedar plank.
5. Brush the olive oil mixture generously over the trout fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
6. Place the cedar plank with the trout on the preheated grill.
7. Close the grill lid and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the trout flakes easily with a fork.
8. Remove the cedar plank from the grill and let it cool for a minute before serving.
9. Serve the trout directly on the cedar plank with lemon wedges on the side.
