In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add butter and minced garlic; cook for 1 minute until fragrant. 7. Stir in chopped parsley, dill, and lemon juice, allowing the butter to melt and combine. 8. Pour the lemon herb butter over the trout fillet. 9. Garnish with a lemon wedge and serve immediately.
