Ingredients:
½ cup peanut oil or a neutral high heat oil
2 ½ lbs whole rainbow trout
6 tbsp butter - 2 cold and cubed, 4 melted
1 lemon sliced into at least 10 rounds
15 sprigs flat parsley
Blackening seasoning to taste
To prepare:
Gently rinse fish in cold water and pat dry.
Season the inside of each fish liberally with blackening seasoning (recipe below).
Add three slices of lemon to the inside of each fish with parsley divided.
Add one tbsp cold cubed butter to the inside of each fish.
Gently brush outside of each fish with melted butter and season to taste with blackening seasoning. Set aside to cook.
Heat oil in pan over fire until oil reads at least 350 degrees fahrenheit.
Gently place fish in hot oil, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Cook fish in oil until the thermometer reads 145 degrees fahrenheit at the thickest part of the larger fish, 10 to 15 minutes, checking the temperature regularly.
In the last few minutes of cooking (before fish is cooked to temp), add four slices of lemon to infuse oil and fish with lemon flavor.
Let rest for five minutes and serve.
