Pan Seared Steelhead Trout

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Trout

    Season the steelhead trout fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Sear the Trout

    Once the oil is hot, carefully place the trout fillets skin-side down in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them until the skin is crispy.

  4. 4

    Flip and Finish

    Gently flip the fillets, add butter to the pan, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the trout is cooked through and flakes easily.
