Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets Trout fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Capers (rinsed and drained)
- 0.25 cup Kalamata olives (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the fish with salt and black pepper.
Lightly dredge the trout fillets in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess flour.
Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the trout fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if the skin is still on, and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the capers and sliced Kalamata olives to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice, stirring to deglaze the pan and combine all the flavors.
Return the trout fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fish. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm the fillets through.
Transfer the trout to serving plates and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or steamed rice.
