• 2 whole fresh trout, cleaned and scaled
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, sliced
• 1 lemon, sliced
• Fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Optional: a splash of white wine

👩‍🍳 Directions:

1️⃣ Prep the Trout:
Pat the trout dry with paper towels. Season inside and out with salt and pepper.

2️⃣ Stuff for Flavor:
Insert garlic slices, lemon rounds, and a bit of parsley inside the cavity of each fish.

3️⃣ Sear or Roast:

• To Pan-Fry: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook trout 4–5 minutes per side, until skin is crispy and flesh flakes easily.
