Trout with lemon stuffing and butter sauce

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Trout
6 tablespoons Soft fresh bread crumbs
2 Lemons
4 teaspoons Finely chopped parsley
4 tablespoons Seasoned flour
2 ounces Butter for frying
4 ounces Butter for sauce
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon Butter for stuffing; (1 to 2)

Directions

You may use trout boned and gutted from back or you may use trout fillets, using the stuffing like a sandwich filling between two halves, pressing them well together. Make the stuffing by mixing bread crumbs, butter, parsley, salt, pepper and the zest of the lemons. Squeeze the lemons and moisten stuffing with a little juice, reserving the rest for the sauce.

Divide mixture in four parts and stuff each fish, pressing them shut gently. Dust them in flour and fry in butter until nicely brown. Keep warm while you make the sauce. Using the same pan in which you fried the fish, reduce equal amounts of lemon juice and water to half, scraping the pan juices. Add a pinch of salt and then, bit by bit, whisk in butter. Don't overheat or it will turn oily. This is a delicious, light, creamy sauce for the fish. Serves 4.
