Fried trout
Description
The recipe won't take much time. This trout is delicious on its own, served with fresh herbs and vegetables, but you can also pair it with any side dish. This is a simple yet sophisticated dish that will please any gourmet. Salmon, especially as a steak, is the perfect choice! Seems like a very basic recipe, but it tastes amazing! Definitely worth trying. Serve hot.

Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients. The trout itself can be small, with a whole fish weighing about 300 grams. I have a larger fish; the total weight of two steaks is slightly over 500 grams. You can fry the trout in steaks, as I've prepared it here. Alternatively, you can cut each steak in half and remove all the bones. This will give you long strips of fish that are easy to fry and convenient to eat. If the fish is small, you can fry it whole. Make several cuts on the fish body to help it absorb the flavors better. Take the trout out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking.

Step 3
Brush with vegetable oil, olive oil can be used. Rub salt and pepper on all sides. I use Adyghe salt in the recipe. You can add your favorite spices to taste, but don't overdo it: trout doesn't like an excess of spices. Let the fish marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 4
Now let's start searing. Heat up the pan and spray with oil. I use a grill pan, but a regular non-stick pan will work as well. Place the prepared steaks onto the pan. Sear over medium heat, covered, for 3-4 minutes. Do not move the fish during the first 2 minutes!

Then carefully flip the trout and cover the pan with a lid again. Cook for another 3-5 minutes (exact time depends on the size of the steaks).

Step 6
When the steaks are ready, transfer them to a board and let them rest for 5-7 minutes so that the heat distributes evenly throughout the piece of fish.

You can replace the wooden board with a warm plate, so the steak will retain all the necessary heat.
