Ingredients

  • 2 fresh trout fillets (about 6 ounces each)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed

  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced

  • 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. Rub the trout fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Place the trout fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and set aside.

  4. While the trout is grilling, steam the asparagus. Fill a large pot with an inch of water and bring it to a boil. Place the asparagus in a steamer basket and set it over the boiling water. Cover and steam for about 3-4 minutes, or until the asparagus is crisp-tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, capers, minced garlic, and chopped parsley to make the vinaigrette.

  6. Place the grilled trout fillets on serving plates. Arrange the steamed asparagus alongside the trout.

  7. Drizzle the lemon-caper vinaigrette over the trout and asparagus. You can also serve the remaining vinaigrette on the side if desired.

  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
