Ingredients

• 4 pieces Rainbow trout fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium Green tomatoes, diced
• 1 cup Blackberries
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 cup White wine
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the rainbow trout fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Place the trout fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until the fish is cooked through. Transfer the fillets to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium, add the remaining olive oil and butter, and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced green tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften slightly.

Step 6

Add the blackberries, honey, white wine, lemon juice, and fresh thyme to the skillet. Stir to combine and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Using the back of a spoon, lightly crush some of the blackberries to release their juices while keeping others whole for texture.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or honey if needed. Remove the sauce from heat.

Step 9

Spoon the green tomato and blackberry sauce over the top of the sautéed trout fillets.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
