Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces fresh trout fillets
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 piece lemon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Rinse the trout fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Dredge each trout fillet lightly in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and reserve the bacon fat in the skillet.
Add the unsalted butter to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat. Once melted, place the trout fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the trout is cooking, slice the lemon into wedges and chop the fresh parsley.
Once the trout is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it onto serving plates. Top each fillet with the crispy bacon slices.
Garnish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious breakfast!
