Trout Sauteed in Butter
- 1 x salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 each trout fresh, dressed
- 1 x flour, all-purpose
- 6 tablespoons butter, unsalted
- 1 x parsley sprigs
- 1 wedges lemon
- Salt, pepper and coat the trout by rolling them in the flour.
- Melt the butter in a big iron skillet.
- When the butter is hot (over medium heat) but has not yet shown color, lay in the trout and turn the fire low.
- A steady, low heat will do two things: cook the trout slowly and at the same time brown the trout.
- You must police the process continuously, and it will take 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the trout.
- Just as soon as the flour coating has set on the down side, loosen each trout from the skillet, shaking the skillet gently to keep the slow browning trout free.
- After 10 minutes of slow browning, turn each trout carefully and repeat the above process.
- When you serve the trout, pour a bit of the butter over each and garnish with a sprig of parsley and a wedge of lemon.
