Pat your trout filets dry to remove any excess moisture. Season with desired seasonings or spice blends, plus salt and pepper as desired
Next, preheat a large pan over medium/high heat
Let the pan heat up, then add your olive oil, making sure it evenly coats the pan
Place filets in the heated pan, leaving room between each filet. (Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will disrupt browning)
Cook on the first side for 3 minutes, flip and continue for another 3
Check for doneness by inserting an instant read thermometer into the fish. The internal temperature should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit
Once cooked, remove from the pan and serve. Sprinkle with lemon and fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
