Ingredients

• 4 pieces Rainbow trout fillets
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rainbow trout fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.

Step 3

Lightly dredge each trout fillet in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off the excess.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt and foam slightly.

Step 5

Place the trout fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

Step 6

Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the trout fillets warm, garnished with chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Add lemon wedges on the side for extra flavor.
