Directions

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

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

  5. Return pan of 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.

Recipe Note

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