FAQ · Things people ask

About this recipe.

Can I use trout fillets instead of whole fish?

Yes. Reduce cooking time to 3-4 minutes per side. Skin-on fillets work best for crisping.

What if my butter burns?

Watch closely once it foams. You want golden-brown, not black. If it burns, wipe the pan and start with fresh butter.

Can I make this with other fish?

Any delicate white fish works—sole, flounder, perch. Adjust cooking time based on thickness.
