Step by step
Combine the citrus caper relish ingredients in a bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Heat your KitchenAid® Grill on high heat. If using a grilling fish basket, have it set aside ready to use.
Rinse and pat dry the rainbow trout. Lightly oil the fish and stuff each fish’s cavity with a few lemon slices and sprigs of dill. Season the outsides of the trout with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Rinse and pat dry the rainbow chard. Lightly oil the chard and season with salt and pepper.
Oil the hot KitchenAid® Grill with a paper towel that has been liberally oiled. Place a single layer of the rainbow chard on the grill. Grill each side until the leaves as slightly crisped, using the stems to grab onto with tongs and help turn the chard. Continue grilling until all of the chard is cooked. Set aside.
Scrape the KitchenAid® Grill clean and re-oil it or oil the grilling fish basket if you are using one. Grill the trout until each side is golden browned and the skin is crisped, about 3 minutes on each side.
Slice the chard, using just the leaves and the stems that are tender. Discard any tough stem pieces. Create a bed of the rainbow chard on a platter. Lay the grilled rainbow trout on the chard, and then spoon the citrus caper relish over the trout. Serve warm.
