Julia Child's Broiled Trout

I was not home when Seamus made this dish, so I don't have a lot of insight on how easy/difficult it was to make, or how delicious it tasted, but the photo sure does look yummy!

For salmon, swordfish, tuna, bluefish, shark, mahimahi, and so forth. Here you concentrate on browning the top of the fish; no need to turn it. Dry the fish, paint both sides with melted butter or vegetable oil, and season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a shallow pan that will just hold them comfortably. Pour around the steaks 1/8 inch of dry white wine or French vermouth and set 2 inches below a preheated broiler. After 1 minute, brush a little soft butter on top of each and squeeze on drops of lemon juice. Continue broiling about 5 minutes more, or until lightly springy to the touch - cooked through but still juicy. Serve with cooking juices spooned over.
