Note
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave.
Substitute trout with other white fish fillets like sea bass or snapper if preferred.
For a milder flavor, remove the white pith and seeds from the red chilli before slicing.
Ensure the grill grates are well-oiled to prevent the fish from sticking.
