Sure! Here’s a delicious recipe for pan-seared rainbow trout with a lemon herb butter sauce.
Pan-Seared Rainbow Trout with Lemon Herb Butter Sauce
Ingredients:
- 2 rainbow trout fillets, skin-on
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions:
1. Prepare the Trout:
- Rinse the trout fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the Trout:
- Heat the olive oil (or other high temp oil of choice) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- When the oil is hot, place the trout fillets in the skillet, skin-side down.

3. Make the Lemon Herb Butter Sauce:

- Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

This lemon herb butter is great on almost any fish and pasta as well.
4. Serve:
- Place the seared trout fillets on a serving platter.
- Spoon the lemon herb butter sauce over the top of the trout fillets.
- Garnish with fresh lemon wedges.
5. Enjoy:
