Transfer to a platter and keep warm while cooking the rest of the fillets.
For the caper sauce, wipe out the frying pan after cooking all of the trout.
Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in the pan.
Add the tomatoes and simmer until the tomatoes are soft, approximately 5 minutes.
Stir in the parsley, lemon juice and capers.
Cook and stir until the ingredients are thickened, approximately 5 more minutes.
For the rice, cook the rice according to the package directions.
In a small skillet, sauté the celery, green onion, lemon juice and zest in two tablespoons of butter for 5-7 minutes.
Add this to the cooked rice and stir to combine.
On a serving platter place a mound of cooked rice, top with fillets and then the caper sauce.
Garnish the platter with lemon slices and additional capers.
