Categories     Dinner

Time 21m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 fish fillets (six ounces each, skinless, approximately one inch thick)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup pecan pieces
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon creole seasoning (I like Zatarain's)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the pecans in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Do not over-process or you will end up with pecan meal or pecan butter.
  • Add the finely chopped pecans and the panko crumbs to a shallow dish or pie plate and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Add the mayonnaise and creole seasoning to a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper.
  • Evenly spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise mixture on all sides of the fillets.
  • Dredge each fillet in the nut mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly.
  • Heat a large, 12-inch, non-stick oven-proof or cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the fillets and cook for three minutes. Turn the fillets over and cook three minutes on the other side.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and let the fish finish cooking. This should take about five minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  • The fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily when pierced with a fork.
  • Serve immediately.

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.
