Ingredients

Instructions 

  • First, season trout with minced garlic, pepper, sea salt, oregano and thyme.
  • In a large skillet, add olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once oil is hot and butter is melted, place trout flesh side down (skin side up).
  • Cook for 3 minutes. Then carefully flip fish. Squeeze lemon juice on top of fillets.
  • Cook another 3 minutes. Then, remove from heat.
  • Top with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Spoon the juice from the skillet on top of fish. Serve!

Notes

  • If using frozen fish, thaw completely before making this recipe.
  • No need to season the side with the skin.
  • Do not allow the oil and butter to smoke.  Skillet should be hot but not smoking hot.
  • Trout is naturally thin, so only about 3 minutes on each side is needed.
  • Feel free to taste and adjust seasonings as you cook.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
