Fried rainbow trout

Description

The recipe won't take much time. I really love fish and seafood, but my husband, like probably most men, prefers meat. However, once he tried the rainbow trout I fried, he said this would now be our holiday dish! The fish turns out incredibly delicious. Serve hot.

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   Wash and dry the tarragon (also known as estragon) sprigs, separate the stems, and finely chop or crush the leaves in a mortar.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Separate the fillets from the fish, rinse them under running water, and dry.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Heat a large skillet over medium heat. While the skillet is heating, prepare the fish: season the skin with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Step 4

   When the pan is heated, pour 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil onto it. Do not wait for the oil to boil—just warm it up. Place the fillet in the pan skin-side down, and season it with salt, pepper, and some tarragon.

   Step 5

   Depending on the thickness of the fillet, cook it in the pan for 3-4 minutes until a crispy crust forms. Then flip to the other side and cook for 2-3 minutes until fully done.
