Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets Fresh trout fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 whole Juice of lemon
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 4 slices Lemon slices
Instructions
Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the trout fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until the trout is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the fresh lemon juice and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to deglaze the pan.
Return the trout fillets to the skillet and spoon the lemon-butter sauce over them to coat. Let them warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish the trout with freshly chopped parsley and lemon slices. Serve immediately with a side of your choice, such as roasted vegetables or a light salad.
