Trout Meuniere
Serves 4
- 2 (¾ pound) trout fillets
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Pat the trout fillets dry with a paper towel. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge the fillets in the flour mixture on both sides.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fillets and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until brown. Flip and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Transfer the fish to a serving dish.
- Add the lemon juice to the browned butter in the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until foamy. Pour the sauce over the fish and top with parsley. Serve immediately.
