Pan Fried Rainbow Trout with Pineapple Salsa

The weather in my part of the world has been pretty hot this summer. I love the summer season and because summers are so short, I like to fill them up with as many outdoor activities as I can.

This means I want recipes that don't take too much time to prepare or can be prepared ahead of time.  That's why I love recipes like this one. Not only is this rainbow trout recipe easy and quick to make, it makes a flavourful, light and refreshing summer dish.

Pan Fried Rainbow Trout with Pineapple Salsa.

Pineapple Salsa

The star of this dish is really the pineapple salsa. The recipe for this salsa is inspired by the salsa recipe on the blog Two Peas and their Pod. The flavourful combination of sweet, spicy and crunchy ingredients is so addictive. The fresh cilantro and lime juice really enhance the salsa and make it super delicious.

The salsa can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated. Once the salsa is done, pan frying the rainbow trout takes only a few minutes.

How to Pan Fry Rainbow Trout

Pan frying rainbow trout couldn't be easier. Simply cut your fillet into desired portions, pat dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add about a tablespoon each of olive oil and butter, when the pan is ready, add the trout fillets skin side down.

Fry for about 3 minutes, flip the fillets over and fry for another minute or until the trout flakes easily with a fork.

If you prefer to bake your trout, take a look at this Baked Rainbow Trout Fillet recipe for instructions on how to do so.

Pan Fried Rainbow Trout with Pineapple Salsa

This Pan Fried Rainbow Trout with Pineapple Salsa is a simple and refreshing dish that can easily be doubled if you want to serve it to a larger group of people.

The salsa can be made on its own and served with corn chips as a dip. You can also serve the pineapple salsa with fish tacos or grilled meats.

To complete this meal, serve the rainbow trout and pineapple salsa with a salad, rice, beans or veggies.

Enjoy!
