Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Trout

    Rinse the Idaho trout under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the inside and outside of each trout with salt and black pepper. Stuff the cavity of each fish with a slice of lemon and a tablespoon of fresh dill.

Cooking Instructions

  1. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the whole garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  2. 3

    Cook the Trout

    Gently place the prepared trout in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  3. 4

    Add Butter and Wine

    In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of white wine to the skillet. Allow it to simmer and baste the fish with the melted butter and wine sauce.

  4. 5

    Serve

    Once cooked, carefully remove the trout from the skillet and place on a serving platter. Drizzle with the remaining sauce from the skillet and garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
