Pan Seared Trout with Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce
If you’re a salmon lover and want to try something new, we definitely recommend you try trout. The flavor and texture is consistent to that of wild caught salmon, and it is delicious.
In this recipe we seasoned the trout and butter sauce with our MAHMI Zesty Garlic Mojo seasoning, and it came out amazing! This recipe pairs perfect with a nice salad, over a bed of basmati rice, or even mashed potatoes.
Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 25 mins
Main Ingredients
1 lb trout, skin on and cleaned
2 tbsp and 1 tsp olive oil
1-1/2 tbsp MAHMI Garlic Mojo seasoning
Salt to taste
3 tbsp butter
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 lemon, juice
2 tbsp white wine
Parsley for garnish
Recipe Steps
Cut trout into desired serving sizes, drizzle on 1 tsp olive oil and season the top of the trout fillets with 1 tbsp MAHMI Garlic Mojo seasoning; salt to your taste. Be sure to rub seasoning in throughly.
In a large pan on medium heat, heat 1 tbsp olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place trout fillets in with the skin side up. Cook the top of the fillets for 4 minutes undisturbed, then flip the fillets skin side down and cook for another 4 minutes.
By now the trout skins should be stuck to the pan. Using a spatula carefully remove the fillets from the skins; sliding the spatula between the trout meat and skin… Remove trout, and set aside.
Next, reduce burner heat to medium-low and remove the pan from heat. Using a spatula remove the trout skins, and using a napkin lightly wipe whatever crisps are left behind.
Add pan back to medium-low heat, along with 1 tbsp olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add in garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Next pour in white wine and cook for 1 minute, then add in butter, lemon juice, and ½ tbsp MAHMI Garlic Mojo seasoning. Mix well and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Add trout fillets back in the pan, and using a spoon, drench the fillets in the butter sauce for 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle on a little parsley for garnish and serve!
