   Line a baking sheet with foil and place the fish on it. Make shallow cuts (5-7 cm long) on one side of the fish, and insert a slice of lemon and a small piece of butter into each cut. Finely chop the parsley and mix it with the remaining lemon pieces. Use this mixture to fill the trout's cavity. Then tightly wrap the fish in foil.
