Ingredients
-
4 trout filets (from two trout)
-
1/3 cup pecans, finely chopped
-
1/2 cup all purpose flour
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1/3 cup Panko crumbs
-
2 TB butter, melted
-
1 TB olive oil
-
1 egg, beaten
-
2/3 cup half & half
-
1 teaspoon rosemary
-
1/2 teaspoon thyme
-
Salt & pepper to taste
For Garnish:
-
Lemon wedges
Instructions
First, pat trout filets dry and sprinkle both sides with salt & pepper. Let them come to room temperature. You'll need three shallow dishes for your dredging mixes. Place the flour in the first dish. For the second, combine the half & half and melted butter. For the third dish, combine the chopped pecans, Panko bread crumbs, rosemary & thyme. Once filets have come to room temperature, dredge them in that order (place filets in the flour, then dip in half & half/butter mixture, then dredge them in the pecan mixture). Set these to the side.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Once hot, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add filets to the pan and fry them 3 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
Serve with your favorite side and lemon wedges!
