Description
This Lemon Garlic Trout is a simple, flavorful, and healthy dinner that comes together in just 15 minutes. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, this dish is perfect for a light, nutritious meal without compromising on taste.
Ingredients
- 2 trout fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic (from jar)
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
Optional Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat up.
- Season the Trout: While the skillet is heating, pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels and one side with salt, pepper, and dried oregano (if using).
- Cook the Salmon: Place the trout fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 1 minute without moving the fillets, allowing the skin to crisp up. Flip the trout fillets and cook for another 5-8 minutes (depending on the size of the filets) until the trout is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
- Prepare the Lemon Garlic Sauce: In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, add the minced garlic and lemon juice to the side of the skillet; once fragrant, bast the sauce over the trout, and then add the zest.
- Serve: Remove the trout fillets from the skillet and place them on serving plates. Spoon the garlic lemon sauce over the top.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- Customize with Herbs: Feel free to use other herbs like thyme or dill for different flavor profiles.
- Cooking Time: Adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of the trout fillets. Thicker fillets may need an extra minute or two.
Did you know: Trout is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids—a heart-healthy fat that also can support brain health and decrease inflammation.
