Sustainable Choice.Look for farm-raised lake trout, an environmentally friendly choice. If you can't fit all four fillets in one pan, divide the oil in half and cook in batches of two.

Good, but my thin trout fillets only needed 3 minutes in the skillet n side and 1 minute after flipping.

Market did not have trout. Next time I'll double the sauce. Very quick and easy.

This was really good. Steelhead trout was on sale at my grocery store so that's what I used. It made a mess during the cooking process but I would definitely make again.
