How to Cook Trout

Ingredients

• 0.25 cups butter
• 2 whole trout , 8 ounce
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

1. 1

   Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until butter smells toasted and is golden brown, about 1 minute. Turn off heat.

2. 2

   Line a baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil. Place trout onto foil; open trout so skin sides are down. Drizzle each trout with about 1/2 teaspoon melted butter. Generously season with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Move an oven rack to 5 or 6 inches below the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler on high heat.

4. 4

   Broil trout until opaque and barely firm to the touch, 2 or 3 minutes. Remove from oven.

5. 5

   Return pan of remaining melted butter over high heat; stir in lemon juice and parsley. Bring butter sauce to a boil; whisk to combine.

6. 6

   Serve trout on plates and drizzle with butter sauce.
