2 eggs, beaten

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Salt and freshly ground pepper 

Black Bean and Corn Salsa, recipe follows

Black Bean-Corn Salsa:

1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 (12-ounce) can sweet yellow corn, drained

1 (14.5-ounce) can chopped tomatoes with onions, drained 

2 green onions, chopped

Dust the trout fillets with flour, and then dip the fillets in the beaten egg mixture. Dredge the fillets in crushed pecans. Saute the fish in the olive oil until cooked through - approximately 4 minutes each side depending on thickness of fillets.

I only made the salsa, not the whole meal. Changed a few things, though. First, I halved the recipe. I substituted a large fresh tomato for the canned, added a minced jalapeno, and used the juice of a lime and just a splash of balsamic vinegar. With these changes, 5 stars.
