Butter Garlic Trout in Foil

I thought it might to time to take a break from all the delicious treats and post some real food - as in dinner fare. But don't you worry, I've got all the treats lined up for December and they are good ones...but it probably wouldn't hurt you to eat some fish in the meantime. 

This trout is super, super, super easy to make. It has just the right amount of dressing up to add flavor dimension without overpowering the fish. And since you cook it in foil, clean up is a breeze!

You likely have all the ingredients to make this fish, except maybe the fish. So go out and get some trout and get this on your menu. Simply top with fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper, butter, garlic and parsley. SO EASY!!!

Fold up that foil and bake. That's all there is to it! I like to broil it at the end for a couple minutes just to put a nice sheen on it (the picture above is just baked, the final pictures, like the one below, are after it is broiled). I especially liked how all the sauce in the foil could be poured over the veggies on the side. Yum!

Butter Garlic Trout in Foil

1 pound trout filet
juice from 1/2 lemon
2 Tbsp. butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. parsley

Spray a sheet of aluminum foil with cooking spray and place the trout filet in the center. Fold up all 4 sides of the foil. Season trout with salt and pepper and then squeeze juice from half a lemon over the fish until covered.

Melt butter in microwave safe bowl, stir in fresh minced garlic, and drizzle over the trout until evenly coated. Top with parsley.

Fold the sides of the foil over the trout, covering completely, and seal into a closed packet. Place directly on oven rack and bake at 375 until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Open the foil exposing the top of the trout and broil for the last 2-3 minutes to brown the top.
