TL;DR
A simple pan-fried trout fish fillet to enjoy as a weekend lunch or a healthier dinner meal.
You can choose whichever trout variety that you enjoy or is available to you in your local grocery store.
Go for fresh fish and avoid deep-frozen if possible. The fish is fried in a skillet, which doesn't take all too much time, making this a great last-minute meal idea.
Process Overview
Step 1
Rinse your trout to get rid of any impurities and tap dry.
Season your fish with salt, black pepper, and herbs.
Step 2
Heat up a pan with the oil and butter and wait for the oil to get hot enough. Cook your onion slices in the oil.
Place your trout fillet with the skin side down into the pan and cook on one side first.
Step 3
Carefully flip your fish filet so that it doesn't break.
Cook the other side of the filet through on a medium to high heat for about 3 minutes or until cooked through but moist. Serve hot.

Pan Fried Trout Fillet Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 Trout Fillet about the same size
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- ½ Teapsoon Black Pepper Ground
- 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning or Pizza Seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1 medium Onion white or purple, sliced
Instructions
- Rinse your fish fillet if necessary and tap dry.
- Season your trout fillet with the salt, black pepper, and Italian (or pizza) seasoning.
- Heat up a large skillet with the oil and butter.
- Sautee your onion slices. Cook translucent.
- Place your trout into the pan over the onion slices, skin side down and cook for about 3 minutes on medium to high heat.
- Carefully turn your trout fillet in the pan to cook the other side of the fish. Cook again on high heat for about 3 minutes.
- Take from the heat and serve the fish fillet when still warm with a side dish.
Notes
- Trout fillet can be orange or white in color. It depends on the fish variety, where the fish came from and what the fish ate.
- The onions in the pan help in pan frying the fish filet. The oil doesn't jump out that much if you place the fish on the onion to cook.
- I use oil and butter mixed because olive oil alone is to boring in taste and butter alone tends to evaporate too easily.

Serving
We serve up this cooked trout fillet with garlic or buttered parsley potatoes. Butter flavored peas and French-style green beans complement this trout dish too.
Rice or ebly (wheatberries) are great accompaniments to this fish dish. Serving simple lemon rice with this trout fillet is an excellent idea too.
I love to have a salad at the side too, such as a simple green lettuce salad, a shredded carrot salad, or another small simple salad side dish.
Drizzle some freshly squeezed lemon juice over the fish to bring out all the delicious flavors of your trout.
And don't forget to keep a glass of wine around! A glass of cooled white wine or a good rosé makes this meal all the more special.
