Ingredients
  

  • 2 trout fillets about 6 ounces each
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion and chive salt
  • Pinch black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with the onion and chive salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Place the trout fillets in the skillet, skin-side down.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes without moving the fish, until the skin is crisp and the flesh begins turning opaque up the sides.
  • Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring gently around the fish. Carefully flip each fillet with a thin spatula and peel off the skin, if desired.

  • Add the white wine, butter, and lemon juice directly to the skillet. The liquid will bubble. Reduce the heat to low and let the fish cook for another 2-3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the top as it finishes.

  • The trout is done when it flakes easily with a fork and has turned opaque throughout. Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with the pan sauce.
