Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Trout fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cups Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cups Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cups Fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil)
Instructions
Season the trout fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside to let the seasoning permeate the fish while you prepare the green sauce.
In a food processor or blender, combine garlic cloves, fresh parsley, fresh cilantro, fresh chives, capers, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and olive oil. Pulse until the mixture becomes a chunky, rustic green sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the neutral oil.
Once the oil is shimmering but not smoking, place the trout fillets in the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even contact with the pan.
Flip the fillets carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the cooked trout to a serving platter. Spoon the rustic green sauce generously over the top of the fish.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, crusty bread, or a simple green salad.
