Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. 2 Season trout fillets evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off excess flour.
  3. 3 Heat ghee over medium-high in a large skillet. When butter shimmers, add fish fillets skin-side down, cooking in batches if necessary. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, flip, and continue cooking until the outside is lightly golden brown, and fish is just cooked through and opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove cooked fish to the prepared baking sheet and place in the preheated oven to keep warm.
  4. 4 Pour excess ghee or clarified butter from skillet; wipe skillet clean. Add unsalted butter and shallot to the skillet and cook briefly over medium heat until butter is melted and shallot has softened a bit, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Allow mixture to cook for about 30 seconds. Remove from heat, and stir in parsley.
  5. 5 Place fish fillets on plates or a platter; top with sauce from skillet and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Instructions

  1. 1 Soak an untreated cedar plank (or planks) large enough to hold a side of salmon (5 to 7 inches wide and 16 to 20 inches long) in water, weighting it with something heavy, like a brick, so it stays submerged 30 minutes to 24 hours.
  2. 2 When ready to grill, either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn grill burners on high for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix oil, garlic, dill, salt, pepper and lemon zest; rub over salmon and into scored areas to coat.
  3. 3 Place soaked cedar on hot grill grate, close lid, and watch until wood starts to smoke, about 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to hot plank, move salmon off direct charcoal heat or turn burners to low, and cook covered until salmon is just opaque throughout (130 on a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section) 20 to 25 minutes or longer, depending on thickness and grill temperature. Let sit 5 minutes; serve with lemon wedges.
