This trout recipe is so simple, it doesn't even have a name. This is such an easy weeknight seafood dinner. It's a really nice way to cook fish, especially if you're new at cooking it.

Ingredients 

  • ¼ cup Butter
  • 2 Trout Fillets 8 ounces each, butterflied and deboned
  • Salt & Pepper To taste
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley Chopped

Equipment

  • Stovetop
  • Saucepan
  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until butter smells toasted and is golden brown, about 1 minute. Turn off heat.
  • 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.
  • Move an oven rack to 5 or 6 inches below the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler on high heat.
  • Broil trout until opaque and barely firm to the touch, 2 or 3 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Return pan of remaining melted butter over high heat; stir in lemon juice and parsley. Bring butter sauce to a boil; whisk to combine.
  • Serve trout on plates and drizzle with butter sauce.
