Instructions
- Heat oven to 425Β°F. Put potatoes in a pot, cover with cold salted water, bring to a boil, and simmer until just tender, 10β12 minutes.
- Sheet-pan the sprouts: toss halved Brussels with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan. Roast 15β18 minutes, tossing once, until browned and tender.
- Make citrus-dill butter: in a small bowl mix 1 tbsp softened butter, clementine zest, 2 tsp juice, dill, and half the garlic. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Pat trout dry; season with salt and pepper. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Sear trout skin-side down 3β4 minutes until skin is crisp. Flip, add remaining garlic, and spoon the garlicky butter over fish 30 seconds. Transfer skillet to oven for 5β7 minutes (depending on thickness) until just opaque.
- Drain potatoes; lightly smash with the back of a spoon on a tray. Drizzle with a little olive oil, season, and roast on the rack below the sprouts for 8β10 minutes to crisp.
- Plate: top trout with clementine-dill butter. Serve with roasted Brussels and smashed potatoes.
