Ingredients

Directions

In a wide flat dish, combine the bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, zest of 1 lemon and salt, to taste.

In a small bowl, mix together the mustard and the juice of 1 lemon. Brush both sides of the trout with mustard mixture. Coat the fish on both sides with the seasoned bread crumbs and press firmly to adhere the crumbs to the fish.

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.

Coat a large skillet with about 1/4 to 1/2-inch of olive oil and bring to a medium-high heat. Add the fish to the pan, skin side down, and cook the fish 2/3's of the way, about 6 to 7 minutes. Carefully turn the fish over and cook the other side until the fish is brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the fish from the pan and drain on paper towels. You will probably need to work in batches to do 4 fish. After the first batch is done and dried on paper towels reserve it on a rack in a warm oven.

When all the fish has been fried, remove the oil and any brown bits from the pan. Add the butter and remaining lemon juice and swirl to combine as the butter melts. Season with salt, to taste, and reduce by about half. Transfer the fish to a serving platter, drizzle with the butter lemon sauce and serve.

What a fishtale!

    The trout was absolutely delicious! The Dijon mustard flavor really came through. Wow!

    Fantastic. Took the main idea of the recipe and substituted mint for oregano. The trout did not taste fishy at all, and the skin was absolutely beautiful. Used a cast iron pan. Also, did not have dijon mustard, so used yellow mustard mixed with hot chinese mustard with the lemon juice. The second side, the one that is cooked less, would have benefited from an extra minute or two in the pan. For the bread crumbs I used a mortar and pestle on old Safeway bread, and mixed that with salt, lemon rind, red pepper flakes, two cloves of garlic, and fresh mint. Whole trout, skin on. Thank you Anne!

    FANTASTIC! This was my first time trying trout and I LOVED it. The only problem I had was that the coating came off on parts of my fish, other than that this was great.
