How to Make Pan Seared Trout With Italian Style Salsa

  1. Pat 4 (6-ounce) trout fillets dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Once shimmering, carefully place 2-3 fillets (depending on skillet size) skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, undisturbed, until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Flip the fillets and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the remaining fillets, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
  6. Top each cooked trout fillet generously with the Italian Salsa (recipe below).
  7. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy!
