How to Make Breakfast Trout With Bacon

  1. Cook 4 slices of bacon in a large heavy skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  2. Remove bacon from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pan.
  3. Rinse 2 (6-ounce) trout fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Dredge fillets in 1/4 cup of cornmeal seasoned with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the bacon fat in the skillet. Heat over medium-high heat until oil is shimmering.
  5. Carefully place trout fillets in the hot skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 5 minutes, until skin is golden and crisp.
  6. Carefully flip the trout fillets and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Serve the trout fillets immediately, garnished with the crispy bacon.
