LEMON BUTTER HERB BAKED TROUT

Steps:

• HEAT OVEN TO 400F/204C. Prepare a pan lined with parchment or foil sprayed with oil.
• PREPARE TROUT FILLETS: Lay fillets on pan. Microwave butter and oil for 20-30 seconds until butter is melted. Using a sharp knife, cut slits horizontally every 2 inches on each fillet (about 3-4 slits per fillet). Stuff half of mixed herbs into slits. Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper. Drizzle HALF of butter oil mixture (about 2 tbsp) and the lemon juice over trout .
• BAKE TROUT: for 9-11 minutes, depending on thickness of fillets, or until cooked. Ideally, trout will be moist and warm pink - not dry, pale and flaky.
• FINISH AND SERVE: Sprinkle remaining herbs and lemon zest over top of fillets. Drizzle on remaining 2 tbsp butter-oil mixture. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt or kosher salt. To serve: To serve without skin, slip spatula between flesh and skin, then lift up. I cut trout into portions first (just down to the skin) to make this easier. Serve immediately.
