Easy Garlic Butter Rainbow Trout

Ingredients:

• 4 rainbow trout, deboned, scaled, and skin on

• 6 cloves of garlic, peeled and roughly chopped

• 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour

• 4 tablespoons of butter

• 4 tablespoons of olive oil

• 1/2 cup heavy cream

• 1/4 cup sherry wine

• salt and white pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Start by preparing the fish. Rinse the rainbow trout and pat dry with paper towels. Season the fish on both sides with salt and white pepper, then lightly coat with flour.

2. In a large skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium heat until the butter is melted. Once the pan is hot, place the trout skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden brown, then flip the fish and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.

3. In the same pan, add the garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Then, add the sherry wine and cook for another minute until the alcohol has evaporated.

4. Add the heavy cream to the pan and stir to combine with the garlic and sherry. Cook the sauce until it thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

5. Turn off the heat and gently place the rainbow trout back into the skillet to coat with the sauce. Squeeze some fresh lemon over the fish for an extra burst of flavor, if desired.

6. Serve the Easy Garlic Butter Rainbow Trout hot with a side of fluffy white rice and steamed green beans. The sauce pairs perfectly with the trout and the addition of steamed green beans adds a pop of color and extra nutrients to the meal.
