   Prepare the Trout

   Rinse the mountain trout fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Grill the Trout

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the seasoned trout fillets on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and keep warm.

3. 3

   Sauté the Spinach

   In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted (about 2-3 minutes). Season with salt to taste.

   Prepare Creamy Orzo

   In a separate pot, cook orzo according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and return to pot. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and a splash of pasta water to create a creamy consistency.

   Make Parsley Lemon Butter

   In a small saucepan, melt the remaining butter over low heat. Stir in chopped parsley, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Keep warm.
