Pecan Crusted Trout
This is another pretty basic recipe that I cooked the other day for my boss. This recipe was from Cooking Light (I think), so it is pretty healthy. I had the guy at the fish counter remove the skin, but you could also make it with the skin and only coating one side if desired. This crust is also so tasty it could be used on chicken or other in season light fishes (tilapia, arctic char, flounder, bass even). I might even consider using the crust on some eggplant as a vegetarian option. Also, depending on the type of fish you choose, this could be an inexpensive meal. It would be great served with a side of spinach or green beans, yum!
