How to Make Thyme For Trout

  1. Preheat your oven's broiler and set an oven-safe dish aside.
  2. Place trout fillets skin-side down in the prepared oven-safe dish.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
  4. Juice one lemon (about 2 tablespoons of juice) and add it to the melted butter along with 2 tablespoons of fresh thyme leaves. Stir to combine.
  5. Gently smash 4 cloves of garlic to release their aroma, then insert them randomly into the flesh of each trout fillet.
  6. Pour the lemon-thyme butter mixture evenly over the trout fillets.
  7. Spread 1 tablespoon of capers over the top of each fillet.
  8. Refrigerate the dish for 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Remove the dish from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before broiling to allow it to come to room temperature.
  10. Broil the fish for 5 minutes.
  11. Remove from the oven, spoon the pan juices over the fish, and then slice the second lemon into rounds.
  12. Arrange the lemon slices over the fish.
  13. Return to the oven and broil for another 3-5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!
