Dry
the
trout
with
a
paper
towel.
Season
lightly
with
the
salt
and
fresh
ground
black
pepper.
Dust
well
with
the
flour,
shaking
to
remove
the
excess.
Use
a
pan
that
is
at
least
1”
larger
in
diameter
than
the
fish
is
long.
Heat
the
pan
over
medium
heat.
Add
the
vegetable
oil
and
swirl
until
it
shimmers.
Gently,
lay
the
trout
into
the
hot
oil
working
away
from
your
body
so
that
you
don’t
splash
yourself
with
hot
oil.
Cook
over
a
moderate
heat
for
about
3-‐4
minutes
depending
upon
the
size
of
the
fish.
Gently,
turn
the
fish
over,
again
working
away
from
your
body.
Continue
to
pan
fry
on
the
other
side,
again
for
3-‐4
minutes.
Remove
the
trout
from
the
pan
and
hold
warm.
Pour
the
used
vegetable
oil
out
of
the
pan
(for
discarding).
If
there
is
a
lot
of
sediment
on
the
bottom,
or
burned
bits,
remove
them
with
a
spoon.
Add
the
softened
whole
butter
to
the
pan.
Swirl
it
with
the
spoon
keeping
it
in
motion
for
about
2-‐3
minutes
until
it
just
begins
to
brown.
Immediately
add
the
lemon
juice
and
swirl
it
into
the
butter.
Add
the
chopped
parsley
and
pour
over
the
trout.
Serve
immediately.
