Equipment
- Large non-stick skillet
- Fish spatula
- Sharp Chef Knife
- Small spoon
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 2 Trout Fillets
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 Lemon
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
- 2 cloves Garlic
Instructions
- Dry the Fish: Use paper towels on the trout skin. Dry skin makes the fish very crispy.
- Seasoning: Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides. Do this right before you start cooking.
- Heat the Pan: Put olive oil in a hot skillet. Wait until the oil starts to shimmer.
- Sear the Skin: Place the fish skin-side down first. Press it down with your spatula gently.
- Add Aromatics: Throw in the butter, garlic, and thyme. Let the butter melt and foam up.
- Basting: Spoon the hot butter over the fish. This cooks the top side very evenly.
- Finish with Lemon: Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the pan. This creates a simple, tasty sauce.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the fish from the hot pan. Let it rest for one minute before eating.
Notes
➔ Always pat the fish skin very dry before cooking.
➔ Use a hot pan to prevent the fish sticking.
➔ Press the fish down to keep the skin flat.
➔ Do not flip the trout more than one time.
➔ Use cold butter for a better sauce consistency.
➔ Fresh herbs always taste better than dried ones here.
➔ Take the fish out just before it is done.
