How to Make Nut Crusted Lake Trout

  1. Preheat oven to 415°F (218°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts work well), 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional).
  3. Wash and thoroughly pat dry 4 (6-ounce) lake trout fillets.
  4. Press each fillet firmly into the nut mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
  5. Place the coated fillets in an ungreased baking pan.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
