2 T butter

1 t lemon juice

1 t minced garlic

1/4 t liquid smoke

1/4 t onion flakes

2 thick bacon slices

aluminum foil, heavy duty

For best flavor, the catching, cleaning, and baking of the trout should occur within a minimum amount of time. Prepare two sheets of heavy-duty, foil that are large enough to seal the trout. Spread the lemon juice, liquid smoke, onion flakes, and 1 T of butter inside the cleaned trout. (Divide the butter into several pieces.) Rub half of the garlic onto each side of the trout. Lay the trout onto one sheet of the foil and place one slice of quality flavored bacon between the fish and the foil. Now place the second slice of bacon onto the exposed side of the trout. Divide the butter onto the trout. Seal the edges of the foil and bake at 400 degrees for approximately 10 minutes on each side. (A pizza pan under the foil will safeguard against leakage of the bacon fat, which helps keep the trout from burning.) Be careful when opening the foil to avoid burns to the hands and fingers. Serve with choice of sides.
