Technique to learn

Crispy Skin Pan-Searing

Cooking skin-on fish fillets skin-side down over medium-high heat under gentle pressure to create crisp skin and keep flesh moist.

Instructions

Step 1: Pat trout fillets completely dry with paper towels and season skin and flesh sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2: In a small bowl, stir together softened butter, prepared horseradish, minced fresh dill, and lemon juice until blended.

Step 3: Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Step 4: Place trout fillets skin-side down and press gently with a flat spatula for 10 seconds to hold flat against the pan.

Step 5: Sear skin-side down for 4 minutes until skin is golden and crispy, then stir in minced garlic around the fish.

Step 6: Flip fillets over gently and cook flesh-side for 2 minutes, then top each fillet with a dollop of horseradish dill butter to melt before serving.

Cooking tips

Thoroughly drying the skin with paper towels prevents sticking and guarantees a crisp finish.
Adjust the prepared horseradish quantity to control the pungency of the compound butter.
