Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets (6-8 ounces each) trout fillets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup (chopped) pecans
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Season both sides of the trout fillets with salt and black pepper.
Dredge the fillets lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess flour.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Place the trout fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the pan and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow it to melt.
Add the chopped pecans to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are toasted and fragrant.
Stir in the honey and lemon juice, allowing the mixture to simmer gently for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Spoon the honey-pecan glaze over the cooked trout fillets.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
