BROOK TROUT WITH PECANS, LEMON, AND PARSLEY BROWN BUTTER
Steps:
- Zest and juice both lemons, separately reserving the zest and the juice. Set aside.
- Combine 1 1/2 cups of the pecans with the bread crumbs and 1/4 cup of the parsley on a large plate.
- Open up and cut the trout, diagonally, into two fillets. Season both the flesh and skin sides with salt and pepper to taste, and then, working with one at a time, press the flesh side of the trout into the pecan mixture to make a thin coating.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Using a tablespoon of the peanut oil, generously grease a baking sheet. Set aside.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large saute pan over high heat. When very hot but not smoking, add 6 trout fillets and sear to set the crust. Turn and sear the other side. Using a fish spatula or a large, wide spatula, transfer the trout to the prepared baking sheet. Add additional oil to the pan and continue to sear the remaining trout. When seared, transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the trout for about 7 minutes or until cooked through.
- While the trout is baking, melt the butter in a nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Watching carefully and lowering the heat if necessary, allow the butter to foam and turn golden brown. Immediately add the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. While the butter is still foaming, add the remaining pecans and parsley. Do not allow the butter to burn or it will be unusable.
- Place 2 fillets on each of 6 dinner plates and pour the Parsley Brown Butter over the top. Sprinkle with reserved lemon zest and serve. NOTE: A nice assortment of spring or baby vegetables can be served as an optional garnish.
TROUT WITH PECAN AND PINE NUT CRUST

Stir butter and garlic in small saucepan over low heat until butter melts. Brush garlic butter over trout. Sprinkle nut mixture over trout; press to adhere. Season with salt and pepper. Chill uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place 2 trout, nut side down, into skillet. Cook 2 minutes. Using spatula, turn trout, nut side up, onto baking sheet. Repeat with remaining oil and trout. Bake trout until opaque in center, about 5 minutes.
PECAN CRUSTED TROUT
Steps:
- To make the pecan crusted trout:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine all of the dry ingredients, seasonings, and herbs. Brush each trout fillet with the softened butter. Sprinkle the buttered side of each trout fillet with the pecan crust and press firmly with your hand to completely cover each fillet.
- Brush a cookie sheet with the remaining butter. Place the un-breaded side of the trout down on the buttered cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the flesh is firm and flaky.
- To make the watercress salad and apple cider vinaigrette:
- In a large bowl, toss the lettuce, the apple slices, and the grated horseradish root. In a separate bowl, combine the cider vinegar, lemon juice, minced shallot, ground fennel seed, salt and pepper. Then whisk in the apple cider, olive oil, and walnut oil. Dress salad with the vinaigrette.
- Using a large spatula, carefully lift the trout onto a plate. Spoon the horseradish cream over the crusted trout. Serve with a watercress salad with apple cider vinaigrette.
- To make the horseradish cream: Chill the reduced heavy cream until cold and thick. Combine all ingredients and gently mix. Keep cold until it goes on warm fish to keep from breaking.
