You���ll notice that pecans and trout aren���t just listed for the sake of it. They are the stars of the show! Fresh fillets of trout ensure a moist result while the crushed pecans add the crunch and flavor unique to this dish. If pecans aren’t your thing or if you have an allergy, don���t worry! Almonds or pistachios would do a great job too.
How To Make Pecan-Crusted Trout
- Dab the trout fillets dry. Season with salt and pepper to your liking on both sides.
- Brush one side of each fillet with butter then pat with the crushed pecans. Ensure the pecans cover the entire surface.
- Once the pan is hot, add the fillets (pecan-side down) and cook until it turns a golden brown. Turn the fillets, and do the same to the other side. Once done, you’ll have a beautiful sight of golden brown fillets, ready to plate!
Tips For The Best Results
- Make sure your trout fillets are patted dry. This helps the butter and pecans adhere better to the fillets.
- The pan should be nicely heated before you add the fillets.
Storage Tips
- Any leftovers can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.
- This dish can be frozen. However, the pecan crust might not have the same exciting crunch after defrosting.
