Ingredients

For the sauce

  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 4 garlic cloves crushed
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes
  • 2 Tbsp parsley finely chopped
  • 1 tsp thyme finely chopped
  • ½ cup cream
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ cup cooked peas

Instructions

  • Pat the trout portions dry with paper towel, then drizzle with some olive oil and season with salt & pepper and the taco seasoning.
  • Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat. Fry the trout portions, skin-side down until the skin is crisp (about 2-3 mins). Turn over and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan you cooked the trout, melt the butter then add the garlic, herbs and chilli flakes.
  • Sauté for a few minutes until fragrant then pour in the cream, lemon juice. and peas. Simmer for a few minute before adding the salmon back to the sauce and warming through. Serve immediately with sides of your choice (we served it with sweet potato mash and steamed broccoli).
