Follow The Directions

01

Step
8 mins

Prepare the Potatoes: Place diced potatoes in a medium pot and cover with lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender (approximately 8 minutes). Drain well, cover to keep warm, and set aside.

02

Step
5 mins

Sear the Trout: While the potatoes are cooking, heat extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Rinse the trout fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Season generously with dried Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Gently place the trout fillets in the hot oil and sear undisturbed for 5 minutes to develop a golden-brown crust.

03

Step
5 mins

Build the Mediterranean Flavors: Carefully flip the trout fillets. Arrange the thinly sliced bell pepper and onions evenly over the trout. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.

04

Step
5 mins

Simmer in White Wine: Sprinkle the chopped anchovies, Kalamata olives, tomatoes, capers, and parsley over the trout and vegetables. Pour in the white wine. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for a final 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

05

Step
0 mins

Serve: Arrange the steamed potatoes on a serving platter or individual plates. Carefully place the trout fillets on top of the potatoes, and spoon the Mediterranean vegetable mixture and pan sauce over the fish. Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a richer flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the pan during the last minute of simmering.
If you prefer a bolder anchovy flavor, use oil-packed anchovies and add a teaspoon of the anchovy oil to the skillet along with the olive oil.
Feel free to substitute other types of fish fillets, such as sea bass or cod, in this recipe.
To add a touch of heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes with the Italian seasoning.
