Farmed trout from Idaho tastes delicious, is responsibly raised, and is easy to find. Toss it on the grill for a quick dinner

Grilled Trout Fillets with Crunchy Pine-nut Lemon Topping
Firm, meaty rainbow trout is one of our most sustainably raised fish, and most of it is grown on clean “farms” in Idaho. Because it’s dense, with a fair amount of oil in the flesh, it’s less likely to stick to the grill than other fish.
