Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces trout filets
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium shallots
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat the trout filets dry with paper towels and season both sides with half the salt and pepper. Set aside.
Finely dice the shallots and mince the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh parsley and set these ingredients aside for later use.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter melts and begins to foam.
Place the trout filets in the skillet skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crisp. Carefully flip the filets and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the filets from the pan and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter along with the shallots and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Simmer the wine for 3-4 minutes until reduced by half.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, thyme, and remaining salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the sauce and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Return the trout filets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them warm through for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with a wedge of lemon on the side. Pair with steamed vegetables or herbed rice for a complete meal.
