How to Prepare Trout

Ingredients Needed
-
¼ cup butter
-
2 (8 ounce) whole trout, butterflied and deboned
-
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Cooking Instructions
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat until it becomes golden brown and releases a toasted aroma, approximately 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Stacy Allen
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil. Place the trout on the foil, ensuring the skin is facing down. Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of melted butter over each trout and season generously with salt and black pepper.

Adjust the oven rack to 5 or 6 inches below the broiler and set the broiler to high heat.
Broil the trout for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it turns opaque and feels slightly firm when touched. Remove from the oven.

Place the pan with the remaining melted butter over high heat. Stir in lemon juice and parsley, then bring the mixture to a boil, whisking to blend.

Place the trout on serving plates and drizzle with the buttery sauce.
