1
Prepare the Trout
Season the steelhead trout fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
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
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.
