Instructions

Season the trout fillets with thyme, salt, and pepper.
In a skillet or cast iron pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned steelhead trout fillets, skin side up, and cook for two minutes on each side.
Lower the heat, then add the butter, lemon juice, capers, and sliced garlic. Cook for another five minutes until the fish flakes easily.
Carefully remove the fish from the pan and drizzle with the pan sauce.

Notes

Make sure to rinse the capers to reduce their saltiness.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the fish reaches 145°F.
For an extra flavor boost, add some fresh herbs as a garnish.
