Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Soak Cedar planks in water for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare Herb Butter by combining all Herb Butter ingredients in a bowl and mixing well.
Pat Trout fillets dry with paper towels.
Spread Herb Butter evenly over the flesh side of each Trout fillet.
Place a Lemon slice on top of the buttered Trout.
Place Trout fillets, skin-side down, onto the soaked Cedar planks.
Grill Cedar planks with Trout over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until Trout is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes.
Carefully remove Trout from Cedar planks and serve immediately.
