  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. <strong>Step 1: Prepare the Lemon Herb Butter</strong><br>In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, dill (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Set aside.
  2. <strong>Step 2: Season the Fish</strong><br>Pat the sea trout fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. <strong>Step3: Cook the Sea Trout</strong><br>Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the sea trout fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about <b>4–5 minutes</b>, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Carefully flip the fish and cook for an additional <b>3–4 minutes</b>, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
