Ingredients
- butter (0.25 cup)
- trout (2 (8 ounce))
- salt (0 )
- black pepper (0 )
- lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
- flat-leaf parsley (2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it smells toasted and is golden brown, about 1 minute. Turn off heat.
- Line a baking sheet with 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 the 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 the pan with remaining melted butter over high heat; stir in lemon juice and parsley. Bring butter sauce to a boil and whisk to combine.
- Serve trout on plates and drizzle with butter sauce.
