Trout Fillets in Brown Butter and Lemon

Submitted by Peg629

"This is just an easy mouth-pleasing dish. We particularly like this in summer with a side of tomato salad, corn on the cob. Recipe is based on just the two of us, haven't tried to increase it myself. I fix it "by eye" so measurements are as close as I can guestimate. As always, please alter to your own personal tastes."
