Method

Step 1

Place the trout fillets into a non-stick frying pan.

Step 2

Pour over the orange zest and juice, cover and simmer gently for 5–6 minutes until the trout is cooked.

Step 3

Gently stir in the basil and crème fraîche and heat through. Season to taste.

Recipe tips

Many supermarkets also sell thick-cut steaks from large trout rather than fillets from the traditional smaller fish. These need a little longer to cook through (2–3 minutes longer depending on size).
You could use dill or parsley in place of basil.
