I use this recipe for fillets of mahi mahi or snapper more often than for trout. The sauce is an excellent reduction. Mario's recipe creates the flavor perfectly. I take the reduction a little past 1/2 gone. The balsamic vinegar sweetens and the wine extracts deepen in flavor to make a really unique and delicious compliment to the fish.
Be sure to chop the rosemary finely. Use real unsalted butter and don't skimp. I always toss a pat or two into the olive oil to start the cooking. My Piemontese nonna used butter in nearly everything. That's the way it should be.
