Steps:
- Season the tops of steelhead trout fillets with Italian herb seasoning and salt (generously). Fish fillets will have skins on the bottom.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat until hot but not smoking. (Note: 1 tablespoon of olive oil is enough as fish will release lots of its own oil - steelhead trout is a fatty kind of fish).
- Add steelhead trout fillets, skin side up, non-skin side down. Cook for about 2 minutes on medium heat, making sure the oil does not smoke.
- Turn the fillets over, skin side down. Cook for another 2 minutes on medium-low heat (keeping oil from burning).
- Remove from heat, close the pan with the lid, and let the trout sit for 5-10 minutes until flaky and cooked through completely.
- After the fish is cooked through, using a spatula, carefully remove trout fillets to the plate, separating the fillet from the skin (skin will remain on the bottom of the pan). Carefully scrape the fish skin off the bottom of the pan, making sure to leave the fish oil in the pan.
- Add capers, diced garlic, and lemon juice to the same skillet with oil in which you just cooked the trout.
- Cook the sauce on medium-low heat for about 1 minute, until garlic softens a bit. Remove from heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter, off heat, to the lemon caper sauce, stirring, until the butter melts and forms a creamy mixture.
- Add cooked steelhead trout fillets back to the pan, spoon sauce over the fish, and serve.

Steps:
- Season the top of fish fillets with Italian herb seasoning and salt (generously). Fish fillets will have skins on the bottom - no need to season the skins.
- In a large skillet (large enough to fit 2 fish fillets), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat until heated but not smoking. To the hot skillet with olive oil, add fish fillets skin side up - flesh side down. Cook the flesh side of the fish for about 3-5 minutes on medium heat, making sure the oil does not smoke, until lightly browned.
- Flip the fillets over to the other side, skin side down (add more oil, if needed). Cook for another 2-4 minutes on medium heat (to prevent oil from burning).
- Remove the skillet from heat, close with the lid, and let the fish sit for 5-10 minutes, covered, in the skillet, until flaky and cooked through completely.
- After the fish is cooked through, off heat, using spatula, carefully remove fillets to the plate, separating the fish from the skin. Carefully remove or scrape the fish skin off the bottom of the pan, making sure to leave all the cooking oils in the pan.
- Add diced garlic, lemon juice, and white wine to the same pan with oil. Cook on medium-low heat for about 1 minute, until garlic softens a bit. Remove from heat. Add 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and 2 tablespoons of butter, off heat, to the sauce, stirring, until the butter melts and forms a creamy mixture.
- Add fish to the pan, spoon sauce over the fish, top the fish and sauce with the remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley, and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh trout, lemons, herbs, and vegetables will give your dish the best flavor.
- Season the trout generously. Trout is a mild-flavored fish, so it needs to be seasoned well to bring out its flavor. Salt, pepper, and lemon pepper are all good options.
- Cook the trout until it is just cooked through. Overcooked trout will be dry and tough. The best way to tell if the trout is done is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fork comes out easily, the trout is done.
- Serve the trout immediately. Trout is best served hot out of the oven or grill.
- Garnish the trout with fresh herbs and lemon wedges. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
Conclusion:
Italian Lemon Trout is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
