Keto Seared Red Trout with Scallion Oil
How to Make It
Step 1
Chop the scallions into thin slices and keep them on the cutting board. Place a small saucepan over medium-high heat and add 3 tbsp of avocado oil to the pan. Wait until the oil is very hot.
Step 2
Then add in the scallions and immediately turn off the heat/remove the pan from the heat. Quickly but gently stir the scallions to toss them in the oil. Add a pinch of baking soda and ½ tsp of salt—taste, adding another pinch of salt if you would like.
Step 3
Dry off the red trout with paper towels until dry on both sides. Set it aside on a dry plate and season the skin with ½ tsp kosher salt.
Step 4
Preheat a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add 2 tbsp of avocado oil and swirl the pan.
Step 5
Add in the red trout skin side down, then turn the heat down to medium-low. Cook the fish on the skin side for 3-5 minutes until crispy and browned.
Step 6
Then flip the fish and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes until the fish is cooked through (internal temperature should be 145 F).
Step 7
Place the fish on a serving platter and then top it with the scallion oil.
