Ingredients

• 4 fillets Fresh trout fillets
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 small Shallots
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 250 grams Cremini or white mushrooms
• 1/3 cup Dry white wine
• 3/4 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the trout fillets. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Place the trout fillets, skin-side down, into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the trout is cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate covered with foil to keep warm.

Step 4

Finely chop the shallots and garlic. Slice the mushrooms thinly.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the shallots for 2 minutes until they are soft and translucent.

Step 6

Add the garlic and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 7

Deglaze the skillet with the white wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet and let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced slightly.

Step 8

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Sprinkle in the chopped parsley and stir well.

Step 10

Serve the trout fillets on individual plates and spoon the mushroom sauce generously over the top.

Step 11

Garnish each plate with a lemon wedge and additional parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
