When I make cook trout, I gut them, leave on the fins and head, lay them in a foiled pan, brush melted butter and lemon juice all over them, bake them in the oven at 350* until the eyes turn white. Then they are done.
Actually, served with toast and scrambled eggs, they make the best breakfast in the world.

PS - You have to catch them yourself. They taste better. They don't taste as good when you buy them at the store. They have sort of a liver-y taste to them because they are grown on a trout farm!
