Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Speckled trout fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 piece Lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Pat the speckled trout fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the trout fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy and the edges of the fillets start to turn opaque.
Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the lemon juice to the skillet and gently stir to create a sauce. Return the cooked trout fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
