Meets Patient’s editorial guidelines

This classic brook trout müllerin, also known as trout meunière, is a sophisticated yet simple high-protein dish that celebrates the delicate flavour of freshwater fish. By dusting the fillets in a little seasoned flour before hitting a hot frying pan, you achieve a beautifully crisp skin that contrasts perfectly with the tender, flaky meat. It is a timeless method that relies on quality ingredients and minimal preparation to deliver a restaurant-standard main course at home.

Ideal for a light midweek supper or a weekend lunch, this recipe is finished with a traditional foaming butter sauce, brightened by fresh lemon and parsley. The nutty aroma of the butter enhances the natural sweetness of the trout, making it a nutritious choice for those seeking a heart-healthy, protein-rich meal. Serve it alongside some steamed seasonal greens or crushed new potatoes to soak up the delicious herb butter.

How to make Brook Trout Müllerin

Back to contents

Season both sides of the filets with salt and pepper and lightly dust with flour. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the filets, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is brown and crispy, 3–5 minutes. Carefully turn with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds.

Squeeze the lemon over the fish and add the parsley. As the sauce begins to bubble up, spoon ample butter over each filet and serve immediately.
