Ingredients
For the Compound Butter
- 1 stick butter
- 1 teaspoon chopped rosemary
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- Lime zest from 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes
- 2 6-8 ounce steelhead trout fillets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- For the compound butter, soften the butter so it is malleable but not melted. Add it to a mixing bowl.
- Add rosemary, lime juice, lime zest and chili flakes. Mash to combine.
- Set butter onto a large piece of plastic wrap and form it into a log. Roll into the plastic and refrigerate to harden.
- Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
- Rub the fish fillets with olive oil, garlic powder and salt and pepper.
- Grill skin sides down about ten minutes, so the skins get nice and charred. You may need a bit more time, depending on the thickness of your fillets.
- Flip and grill another few minutes to ensure the trout is cooked through. You can check with a fork in a thicker section of the fish.
- Remove from heat and set onto serving plates.
- Top with slices of your compound butter and serve with extra lime slices and chopped parsley. The butter will melt over the hot grilled trout, making it moist and flavorful.
