Butterflied Trout with Spicy Lettuce, Celery, and Herbs

['1/2 jalapeño, with seeds, very finely chopped', '1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest', '1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest', 'Kosher salt', '1 small shallot, thinly sliced into rings', '1/4 cup fresh orange juice', '3 tablespoons fresh lime juice', '1 tablespoon fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)', '1 tablespoon soy sauce', 'Freshly ground black pepper', '2 (14–16-ounce) whole butterflied rainbow trout', '2 tablespoons vegetable oil', '4 Little Gem, butter lettuce, or romaine hearts, leaves separated', '2 celery stalks, preferably with leaves, leaves reserved, stalks thinly sliced on a diagonal', '1 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems', '1/2 cup mint leaves']

Using the side of a chef's knife, mash jalapeño, lime zest, and orange zest with a pinch of salt on a cutting board to a paste. Transfer to a medium bowl and mix in shallot, orange juice, lime juice, fish sauce, and soy sauce. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
Season trout with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook 1 trout, skin side down, until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes (flesh will be nearly cooked through). Remove from heat, turn fish, and let sit until cooked through, about 1 minute more. Transfer trout to a platter. Wipe out skillet; repeat with remaining trout and 1 tablespoon oil.
Toss lettuce, celery, celery leaves (if using), cilantro, mint, and 3 tablespoons dressing in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Top trout with salad and spoon remaining dressing over.
