- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Marinate the Trout: Place the trout fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting the vegetables.
- Roast the Vegetables: On a baking sheet, toss the zucchini, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Spread them out evenly and roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender.
- Grill the Trout: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the trout from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Plate the grilled trout alongside the garlic roasted vegetables. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top for extra flavor.
