4 trout fillets, skin on
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Herb Butter: In a bowl, mix the softened butter with parsley, dill, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Prepare the Trout: Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Grill the Trout: Place the trout fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
