Ingredients

  • 1 large trout
  • 4-6 Tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and ground pepper

Instructions

  • Start by filleting your trout.
  • Combine 4 Tbsp of butter with 2 Tbsp lemon juice and 3 Tbsp chopped parsley. Sprinkle with salt and
    pepper. Mash it all together with the fork.
  • Sprinkle both sides of the fish fillet with salt & pepper.
  • Drizzle the flesh side with olive oil & cut each fillet in half.
  • Preheat non-stick skillet to medium high heat. Once its hot, add 3 Tbsp of olive oil. Cook trout with the skin
    side down first for 3-4 min until browned and crisp. Carefully turn each fillet over and continue cooking
    until just cooked through, about 3 more minutes.
  • Remove finished trout from the skillet & top each hot fillet with 1 Tbsp of the Lemon-Parsley Butter.
