Ingredients
- 4 pieces trout fillets (skin-on)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 fillets anchovy fillets, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the trout fillets in the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir until the butter melts.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in the finely chopped anchovies and capers. Cook for another 1 minute, gently breaking down the anchovies with the back of a spoon.
Step 6
Add the lemon juice and zest to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer gently for 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Return the cooked trout fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fillets to coat them well. Allow to warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Remove from heat and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
