Easy Broiled Trout Recipe with Lemon Butter Sauce

Ingredients

• 0.25 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

Instructions

1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat, cooking until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, approximately 1 minute. Then, remove from heat.
2. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil. Lay the trout on the foil with the skin side facing down. Drizzle each trout with about 1/2 teaspoon of melted butter. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Position an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler on high.
4. Broil the trout until it turns opaque and feels barely firm to the touch, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
5. Return the saucepan with the remaining melted butter to high heat. Stir in fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley. Bring the butter sauce to a boil, whisking to ensure it's well combined.
6. Arrange the trout on individual plates and generously drizzle with the flavorful lemon butter sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
