Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp all-natural garlic powder (or 1 to 2 tsp garlic paste)
1 1/2 lb trout fillet (or butterflied trout fillet as in the pictures)
Salt and Pepper
All-purpose flour for coating (no more than 1/2 cup)
Extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve Greek EVOO)
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

Mix the coriander, paprika, and garlic powder in a small mixing bowl.
Pat the trout fillet dry. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper on both sides, then season with the spices on both sides.
Coat the seasoned fish with the flour, shake off any excess flour (you only want a very thin layer).
In a large cast iron skillet, heat about 3 to 4 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking (see note). Sear the trout fillets for 3 minutes on each side (start with skin-side down, and use a spatula to very carefully flip the fish fillets over).
Remove the fish from the pan and place it on a tray lined with paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Transfer to serving platter and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

6 potatoes, diced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 trout fillets
2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
3 anchovy fillets, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped kalamata olives
4 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon drained capers
1 bunch Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons medium-dry white wine

Steps:

Place potatoes in a medium pot and fill with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until fork-tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, cover, and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet on medium high. Rinse the trout fillets and pat dry. Season the trout with the dried Italian seasoning and salt and pepper. Gently place the trout in the heated oil and pan fry without moving the fillets for 10 minutes.
Carefully turn the fillets. Arrange the bell pepper and onions on top of the trout and cook for 5 minutes. Then, place the anchovies, olives, tomatoes, capers, and parsley on top of the fillets. Pour in the white wine and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Serve the trout and vegetables on a bed of steamed potatoes.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh trout fillets. If you are using frozen fillets, thaw them completely before cooking.
To prevent the trout from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is well-oiled or greased.
Cook the trout over medium heat so that it cooks evenly throughout without burning.
Season the trout with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices before cooking.
Serve the trout immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
