Trout reminds me of streams and old men fishing for ages along the bank, I don’t actually think like that when I’m eating it though!. I do think trout is under rated and should be eaten a lot more as it’s so yummmmmy!
As it’s such a light, flakey fish and I wanted to try out to keep it that way. I decided to make a butter to place over it.

Instructions
- 1. In a small bowl add the softened butter, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper and chilli flakes, when throughly mixed place the butter on a piece of cling fling and form it into a round log shape, make sure it's well wrapped and chill for at least 30 mins.
- 2. Once the butter is solidified then your ready to cook your fish, firstly cut the pieces of butter into thick slices so it's ready once the fish has been cooked.
