Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
Step 1
Pat fillets dry and rub flesh sides with cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (total). Dredge in flour.
Step 2
Heat 1/2 stick butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until foam subsides, then cook trout, skin side down, until skin is golden-brown, about 4 minutes. Turn fish over and cook until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spatula and keep warm, loosely covered with foil.
Step 3
Pour off butter from skillet and wipe clean, then cook pecans with remaining 3/4 stick butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and parsley and spoon over trout.

My whole family loved this recipe. I used 2T of butter to saute the trout, and 2T to saute the pecans. I substituted cilantro for parsley since that's what I had. I served it with steamed Swiss chard, fresh corn on the cob and wheat rolls.

优秀,但轻微的修改。而than Pecans I used 1 cup of Pistachios, crushed in a plastic bag, then added the flour for coating. Also used 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter rather than all the butter the original recipe called for.

Made this for my wife for Valentine's Day. She did say there was too much butter for her taste. This is a good recipe just the same. Enjoyed it with rice and pan fried brussel sprouts with olive oil, salt and pepper.

Yummy. Maybe the best trout recipe I have had for store bought trout. Really fresh trout.. some salt, pepper, butter and a frying pan. But I haven't had that in years. I did cut the butter about 50% and it was still delicious. I like the lemon and parsley in with the pecans. The browning developed a nice sweetness to the pecans a compliment but not overpowering. I will keep my sugar with the pecans in my pie thanks.

Excellent and unique. A little too much butter. I also used salted butter and added a little brown sugar to the pecans.

Delicious! I also cut back on the butter. I cut back the butter to 1/3 stick, and then used about 1/4 cup olive oil for saute and the sauce. That was plenty! The other change I made was to mix the cayenne, salt and pepper into the flour and then coat the fish. Much easier than trying to coat fish with spices and then flour. Will make again...

My man and I LOVED this, I used less butter as sujested and added 2 tablespoons of brown sugar with the lemon. Served it with the apple, dried cherry, and walnut salad with maple dressing from this site and wild rice pilaf. YUM!

I quite liked this. I followed the recipe as written except for the 1/2 butter that eveyone else suggest. The recipe was very quick and tasted delicious. I'm going to try with a little less butter or perhaps olive oil next time. This is a keeper.

I chose this recipe for freshly caught trout;I reduced the butter, omitted the lemon, and added brown sugar. I paired with fresh sweet corn, and a green salad with artichoke hearts, avocado, cucumber, strawberries, cherries, banana chips, a few pecans, and a rasberry walnut dressing. FABULOUS! I loved the sweet in each dish; with the variety of textures and colors it was perfect!

This was great, quick and easy. I recommend adding brown sugar to the lemon butter pecan sauce. And you can get away with about 1/2 the butter the recipe calls for.
