Grilled Steelhead Trout with BBQ Glaze

Grilled Steelhead Trout with BBQ Glaze balances buttery richness with a bright hit of lemon and gentle heat from cayenne and paprika. A quick brush of barbecue sauce caramelizes on the grill, adding smoky-sweet depth without overwhelming the delicate fish. Serve for a weeknight dinner or casual cookout when you want clean, vibrant flavors with a touch of char.

Grilled Steelhead Trout with BBQ Glaze
  1. 1

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. 2

    Place the trout fillets on a large sheet of aluminum foil. In a bowl, whisk together the butter, lemon juice, paprika, and cayenne pepper; brush this mixture over the fillets.

  3. 3

    Grill on the preheated grill until the trout flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes; brush the fillets with barbecue sauce; grill 2 minutes more.
