Instructions
With skin side down, lightly season the trout with salt and Italian seasoning (only on one side). Heat olive oil on medium heat in a LARGE skillet until hot, but not smoking. Add trout fillets, skin side UP, flesh side DOWN to hot oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes on medium, then carefully flip fillets over to skin side DOWN. You might need to add a little bit more oil before turning them over (you don't want them to stick to skillet). Cook an additional 3-4 minutes. Once fish is cooked, remove skillet from the heat source, cover the skillet with a lid, and let trout rest for 5-10 minutes (leaving cover on).
Once the fish is done resting, carefully lift up each piece of fish and remove the skin from the bottom of the fish. It should peel off easily. Discard skin, and carefully place fillets on a piece of foil and keep warm. Do not clean out the skillet (you want all the little tidbits and oils left in there!)
To the oils left in the skillet, add minced garlic, fresh lemon juice and white wine. Cook this for 1 minute on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat. Add butter and 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley. Stir to combine, and continue cooking on low until butter has melted.
Once the butter has melted and the sauce is creamy, gently add trout fillets back into skillet. Spoon sauce over the top of fish. If necessary, reheat in skillet, until fish reaches serving temp (on low).
Place trout onto individual serving plates. Spoon a bit more sauce over fish, sprinkle with remaining chopped parsley for garnish... and serve!
