Thyme for Trout

Cookworm's Note:

A simple but flavorful preparation for trout. I am currently in love with thyme and have been putting a concerted effort into adding more fish to our diet. This recipe was a big winner with the whole family. Trout is a nice fish since it doesn't have an overwhelming flavor on it's own. Prep time includes time for marination.

I cheated and didn't marinate it but it was still very good. I added the capers at the end as I like them tart.
