Fillet of Salmon Trout with Dill, Lemon, and Pink Peppercorns

The fillet of salmon trout with dill, lemon, and pink peppercorns is a tasty and economical fish main course. Trout is both a freshwater and marine fish with a delicate flavor, usually farmed. The salmon variety is slightly fattier than the white one, named for the color of its flesh, similar to salmon. For the recipe, I decided to cook it simply, flavoring it with dill, lemon zest, and pink peppercorns.
