Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Rainbow trout fillets
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Rinse the rainbow trout fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
Lightly dredge each trout fillet in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt and foam slightly.
Place the trout fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the trout fillets warm, garnished with chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Add lemon wedges on the side for extra flavor.
