• Saute garlic and onion in the hot oil until the garlic browns slightly, 2 to 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the reserved lemon ends over the garlic mixture.
• Gently lay the trout fillet onto the lemons with the skin side down. Brush the garlic mixture over the top of the fish.
• Cook trout on hot grill until the fish flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.
