Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 2 trout fillets with skin (about 150 g each). Season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp olive oil, swirling to coat the surface.
  2. Step 2: Place the trout fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet and cook without moving for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, toast 4 slices of Pan integral multigrano Oroweat bread in a toaster or on a grill pan until golden brown and slightly crunchy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Serve the trout fillets immediately atop the toasted multigrain bread slices, accompanied by 150 g Greek cherry yogurt on the side and 2 fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over the fish for brightness.
