Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Four 1-pound trout without head, scaled, gutted, and butterflied (skin on)
Olive oil or canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Lemon-Parsley Butter, recipe follows
Parsley sprigs, for garnish
Lemon wedges, for garnish
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat grill to high. Brush trout on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, skin-side down, until slightly charred and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully turn each fish over and continue cooking until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Remove from the grill and top each with 2 tablespoons Lemon-Parsley Butter. Garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon wedges and serve.
  • Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.
