Place 1 kg of trout fish fillets with the skin still on in a large dish.

Add 1 teaspoon of thyme, 1 teaspoon of oregano, 1 teaspoon of parsley, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, half a teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil to the trout fillets.

Give the mixture a quick mix and set up a large open pan for the fish.

Heat around 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the pan.

Place the fish skin-side down in the pan and cook on medium heat for around 3 to 5 minutes until golden.

Flip the fish over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove the fish from the pan without washing it out.

Combine 4 cloves of minced garlic, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 2 to 4 tablespoons of butter in the pan.

Cook for around 1 minute until the garlic begins to soften, adjusting the seasoning as needed.

Top the fish with the garlic lemon butter herb sauce.
