Trout with Dill Butter Sauce


Step one: catch fish
 Ingredients:
3 Fish
2 Tbls Butter melted
1 Tbls Dill

To butcher your fish you will need a you tube tutorial. I can say for people comfortable, you snip off fins at the base on all parts and cut the head clean off. Pull out insides and discard. Wash until all blood is gone.

Chop Dill 

Add Dill to Butter

Brush melted butter and dill over the fish

Finished Product. Be careful of bones.
