Pat the trout fillets dry using a paper towel. Sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper, and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and starts bubbling, place the trout fillets skin-side down into the pan.
Cook the trout for 3-4 minutes on the skin side until crispy, then carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Transfer the trout to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Using the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped shallot for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown.
Pour in the white wine, and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.
Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, and lemon juice, and let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Return the cooked trout fillets to the skillet and spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over them. Let the trout warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
