Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Trumpeter fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 medium, finely chopped Shallots
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
• 4 optional, for garnish Lemon slices

Directions

Step 1

Pat the trumpeter fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Lightly dredge the fillets in flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, stir in the chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring to prevent burning.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and gently scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan. Let the wine reduce by half, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the fresh parsley, thyme, and lemon juice. Let the sauce simmer for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 7

Carefully return the trumpeter fillets to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the fillets and heat for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.

Step 8

Transfer the fillets to serving plates, spooning additional sauce over each portion. Garnish with optional lemon slices and a sprinkle of parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
