Ingredients
- 2 trout fillets

- ½ tsp black pepper
- pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp oregano
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- fresh parsley, to garnish
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.
