This rainbow trout recipe is a 10 minute meal that’s bursting with flavor! Pan fry it with herbs and lemon for a tasty, easy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound rainbow trout filets
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus 1 teaspoon to garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the trout filets dry with a paper towel and season on both sides with salt and pepper (both the skin and flesh sides).
  2. In a large skillet, head the olive oil and rosemary over medium high heat until the oil is shimmering, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the trout skin side down and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until it is browned on the edges and nearly cooked through (with only a small stripe of pink on top). Flip the fish and cook for about 20 to 30 seconds until just cooked through. Remove from the pan and serve immediately, spritzed with the juice from the lemon wedges.
