Trout with Almond-Parsley Butter
For nights when you want to keep the stovetop free of smoke and oil splatter, the broiler is a great alternative. This quick weeknight trout recipe lets you enjoy all the crispness, even cooking, and flavorful browning of seared fish without having to get out a skillet. Garlicky sautéed spinach and a zesty almond-parsley compound butter compliment the mild-tasting trout perfectly.

Drain excess liquid and set aside. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons butter, almonds, lemon zest, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
