Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Trout

    Rinse the trout fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and Cajun seasoning.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes

    Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Cook the Trout

    Make space in the skillet and add the seasoned trout fillets. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Finish with Lemon Juice

    Once the trout is cooked, drizzle the lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
