    Ingredients

    • 2 trout fillets
    • Salt and pepper
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1/2 cup blackberries
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

    Steps

    • Season the trout fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.

    • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

    • Add the trout fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

    • Remove the trout from the skillet and set aside.

    • In the same skillet, add the blackberries, sugar, balsamic vinegar, ginger, and cinnamon.
