INGREDIENTS

  • Spices

    • 1 tablespoon paprika
    • 2 teaspoons dry mustard
    • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon white pepper
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt

  • Condiments

    • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted, divided

  • Protein

    • 🐟 6 fillets trout (4 ounces each)

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Mix together paprika, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, cumin, black pepper, white pepper, thyme, and salt in a small bowl.

3

Heat a heavy cast iron pan on high heat until extremely hot, about 600 seconds. While the pan is heating, pour 3/4 cup melted butter into a shallow dish.

4

Dip each fillet into butter, turning once to coat both sides.

5

Sprinkle both sides of fillets with spice mixture; gently pat mixture onto fish.

6

Working in batches, place fillets into the hot pan without crowding. Carefully pour about 1 teaspoon melted butter over each fillet. Cook until fish has a charred bottom, about 120 seconds.

7

Turn fillets and spoon about 1 teaspoon melted butter over each. Continue cooking until bottoms are charred, another 120 seconds. Repeat with remaining fish.

8

Serve and enjoy!
