Ingredients
- 2 fillets fresh trout fillets
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 wedges lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
Step 3
Dredge each trout fillet in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt and start to foam.
Step 5
Place the trout fillets skin-side down in the skillet. 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 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the trout from the skillet and transfer to serving plates.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley if using, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, tangy flavor.
