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
Directions
Step 1
Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Pour in the fresh lemon juice and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to deglaze the pan.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
