Ingredients:
4 trout fillets with skin |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter, divided |
3/4 cup pecans, chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1/3 cup chopped parsley |
Directions:
1. Pat fillets dry and rub flesh sides with cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (total). Dredge in flour.
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.
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.
