Easy, Gourmet Trout Recipe
Catching trout is a favorite Idaho pastime, and a great way to provide healthy protein to your dinner table. Here’s an easy recipe to make your wild-caught trout a gourmet meal!
Ingredients:
Idaho trout
½ cup flour
1 cup panko
1 whisked egg
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
½ stick of butter
Garlic
Choice of herbs
Lemon
Chopped pecans (optional)
Step 1: Catch trout.
Step 2: Mix a ½ stick of softened butter with a 1 clove of minced garlic and your choice of herb. For this recipe I used herbs I had in the fridge: chopped parsley, zest from my lemon, cilantro, and thyme.
Step 3: Next mix the flour, salt, and pepper in one bowl. In a second bowl whisk your egg for the egg wash, and in the third bowl add your panko. If you choose, you can also add chopped pecans to your panko bowl for an extra nutty-sweet flavor.
Step 4: Dip your fish in the flour, salt, and pepper bowl.
Step 5: Dip your fish in the egg wash.
Step 6: Dip your fish in the panko.
Step 7: Fry your fish in the garlic & herb butter. Turn fish over until both sides are crispy.
Step 8: Finish your fish by placing in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes
Step 9: Serve with a lemon wedge and your choice of sides, or serve with crackers to make a delicious appetizer!
Step 10: Enjoy!
