Season the rainbow trout fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the trout fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until the fish is cooked through. Transfer the fillets to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium, add the remaining olive oil and butter, and sautΓ© the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced green tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften slightly.
Add the blackberries, honey, white wine, lemon juice, and fresh thyme to the skillet. Stir to combine and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld together.
Using the back of a spoon, lightly crush some of the blackberries to release their juices while keeping others whole for texture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or honey if needed. Remove the sauce from heat.
Spoon the green tomato and blackberry sauce over the top of the sautΓ©ed trout fillets.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
