1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for desired spice level)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

Prepare the Marinade:
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, oregano, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. This will create a flavorful and spicy marinade for the trout.
Marinate the Trout:
Place the trout fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the fish. Ensure that each fillet is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 2 hours, to allow the flavors to absorb.
Prepare the Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are evenly spread and glowing. For a gas grill, set it to medium-high and ensure it’s well-heated before placing the fish on it.
