Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 fillets fresh trout fillets
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 wedges lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
Dredge each trout fillet in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt and start to foam.
Place the trout fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the trout from the skillet and transfer to serving plates.
Garnish with fresh parsley if using, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, tangy flavor.
