Technique to learn

Pan-searing fish

High-heat cooking skin-side down first to achieve crisp skin while keeping the delicate flesh moist.

Instructions

Step 1: Pat trout fillets completely dry with paper towels and season flesh and skin with salt and black pepper.
Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.

Step 3: Place trout fillets skin-side down in the skillet and press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds; cook 4 minutes until skin is crisp.

Step 4: Flip fillets carefully and cook for an additional 2 minutes until just cooked through, then remove fillets to a warm serving plate.

Step 5: Reduce skillet heat to medium, melt butter, and saute sliced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6: Stir in capers, diced tomatoes, and fresh lemon juice, simmering for 2 minutes until heated through, then spoon immediately over the fish fillets and garnish with parsley.

Cooking tips

Drying the fish skin thoroughly guarantees a crisp sear without sticking to the pan.
Adjust lemon juice at the end if you prefer extra brightness.
