12. Add the mushroom slices and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
13. Sauté them, stirring and shaking the pan, until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are nicely browned.
14. Arrange the mushrooms over the trout and sprinkle with the lime juice.

16. Pour it over the trout, sprinkle with the parsley, and serve immediately.
