Trucha al Ajillo, or Trout with Garlic, is a cherished dish from the heart of Spain. This dish, with its tender trout fillets, is kissed by golden garlic-infused olive oil and a hint of fresh lemon. It's a symphony of simple ingredients coming together to create an aromatic and full-flavored dish that'll transport you to a Spanish countryside with every bite.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Trout fillets
4 (6-ounce)
Salt
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Garlic
4 cloves, minced
Lemon
1, juiced
Parsley
1/4 cup, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Rinse the trout fillets and pat them dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté until it turns golden and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Carefully place the trout fillets in the skillet, skin side down. Let them cook undisturbed for about 4 minutes or until the skin is crispy.
  4. Gently flip the fillets and cook for another 3 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the cooked trout fillets to enhance their flavor.
  6. Sprinkle the finely chopped parsley over the trout, giving a vibrant pop of color and a fresh herbal note.
  7. Serve immediately while hot. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of roasted potatoes or a fresh green salad.
