Ingredients

  • Steelhead Trout fillet boneless skin-on
  • salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • fresh dill chopped
  • lemon slices
  • cedar planks

Instructions

  • Fill your sink with water and soak the plank for 2-4 hours. Can add weights on it to keep it submerged under water.
  • Pat trout with a paper towel until dry. Season with salt. Spread a light layer of honey over the trout fillet. Generously sprinkle the chopped dill over the trout. Top with lemon slices.
  • Turn on bbq and maintain heat at 300°F (150°C)
  • Place cedar plank on a bbq grill for about 1 minute, to dry the excess water. When cooking, keep a spray bottle handy to put out any fires if the cedar flares up.
  • Place the dressed trout, skin side down, on the drier side of the cedar plank and maintain the bbq on medium heat around 300°F/150°C. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until the trout flakes easily. Don't overcook, internal temp should be 145°F (63°C).
  • Enjoy with your favorite grilled vegetables, salads and carbs.
