Ingredients
- 4 pieces trout fillets, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 whole lime, juiced and zested
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Lightly dredge the trout fillets in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and foamy, add two of the trout fillets, skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy, then carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate and repeat with the remaining oil, butter, and fillets.
Step 3
Once all the fillets are cooked, lower the heat to medium-low. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the capers and cook for another 1 minute.
Step 4
Stir in the lime juice and zest, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Spoon the lime and caper sauce over the trout fillets.
Step 6
Serve the trout fillets immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
