1poundtrout filet or salmon, skin removed optional
3tablespoonsbutter, salted
1/2a lemon, juice squeezed
1-2clovesgarlic, minced/grated
2teaspoonsparsley, minced
salt to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Roll out a sheet of aluminum foil that is roughly 8 inches longer than the filet. If your filet is larger/wider, you can crimp together two pieces of foil so you have more foil to work with. Spray with cooking oil.
Place the trout filet in the center of the foil. Fold up all 4 sides of the foil. Season trout liberally with salt and pepper and then squeeze juice from half a lemon over the fish.
Soften butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in fresh minced garlic and parsley. Spread over the trout until evenly coated with a thin layer. You can alternatively melt the butter and pour it over the fish. Top with a sliced lemon wheel.
Fold the long sides of the foil over the trout, covering completely, and seal it tightly. Fold the ends over and seal into a closed packet. Place directly on oven rack or on a baking sheet and bake until cooked fully through, about 15-20 minutes
Optional step: Open the foil exposing the top of the trout and broil for the last 1-2 minutes, for a browned top.
