BUTTERFLIED TROUT IN LEMON CAPER BUTTER
Steps:
- Lay out the trout so the skin side is down. Open the flesh like a book. With a sharp knife, carefully cut out the backbone, making sure to keep the fillets attached at the head and the tail. Season both sides of the trout with salt and pepper.
- Lightly dredge both sides of the trout with flour, shaking off any excess. Heat a large saute pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Heat the oil until it shimmers when swirled. Carefully add the trout, flesh-side down, starting at the tail and laying away from you towards the head. You may need to cook the trout in batches. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and keep warm.
- Once the trout is all cooked, return the pan to medium-high heat and remove all but 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and cook just until it begins to brown and smell nutty, about 3 minutes. Add the capers, lemons, croutons, white wine, and lemon juice and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and remove from the heat. Stir in the parsley and pour over the trout.
- Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. When the oil is hot, add the bread cubes and cook, stirring, until toasted and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and cool.

I'm far to lazy to bone trout! I just stuff them with the onion mix and brush well with the lemon butter. It works for me.

Steps:
- Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels.
- On a cutting board, spread each fish open, skin side down.
- In a small bowl stir together melted butter and lemon juice. Set half of the butter mixture aside. Brush remaining half of the butter mixture over fish.
- In a small bowl stir together onion, rosemary, lemon peel, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle onion mixture over fish.
- Fold fish closed. Place fish on a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
- Bake in a 450 degree F oven for 15 minutes or until fish begins to flake when tested with a fork.
- If desired, sprinkle fish with parsley. Serve fish with lemon wedges and reserved butter mixture.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest trout possible. Fresh trout will have bright, clear eyes, red gills, and a firm, springy body.
- Butterfly the trout properly. To butterfly the trout, make a cut along the belly of the fish from head to tail. Then, carefully spread the fish open and remove the backbone.
- Season the trout liberally. Before cooking, season the trout with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Cook the trout over medium heat. Cooking the trout over medium heat will help to prevent the fish from drying out.
- Baste the trout with melted butter or olive oil during cooking. This will help to keep the fish moist and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
- Cook the trout until it is cooked through. The trout is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the trout immediately with your favorite sides. Grilled trout is delicious served with lemon wedges, parsley butter, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Grilled butterflied trout is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The trout is grilled to perfection and then topped with a flavorful lemon parsley butter. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
