- In a bowl, combine celery, mushrooms, red peppers, scallops, shrimp, Old Bay, cumin, cilantro and bread crumbs.

- While the rainbow trout is cooking, prepare the Citrus Butter.
For the Citrus Butter:
- In a small mixing bowl, whip all ingredients together.
- Evenly spoon butter onto one edge of a piece of parchment paper, lengthwise. Gently begin rolling up butter and parchment. If it is too soft to roll, refrigerate for a few minutes and try again.
- Roll up until smooth and in a cylinder shape about 1¼ inches in diameter.
- Twist the ends of the parchment and chill butter until ready for use.
To Serve:
- Remove trout from oven, cut and remove string and top with citrus butter. Serve with a side of roasted asparagus or Brussels sprouts.
