Instructions
- Remove head and tail from each fish.

- Season each trout with salt and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
- Spray the grill and each trout with cooking spray to avoid sticking.
- Place each trout on flesh side down for 3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Repeat step 4 two additional times, 2 minutes on each side.
- To serve, plate the fish with the flesh side up, drizzle with California Avocado Green Goddess Dressing and the California Avocado Watermelon Slaw evenly.

- Set aside until ready for serving.
Pickled Watermelon Instructions:

- Let cool and set aside until ready for serving.
California Avocado Watermelon Slaw Instructions:

Serving Suggestion: Garnish with fresh cilantro and mint.
Beverage Pairing: Because trout has such a subtle flavor, the pickled watermelon brings out the fish’s natural taste. Go even further to enhance the dish with a hoppy IPA beer.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
