How to Make Walnut Crusted Trout Fillets

  1. In a large shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon dried sage, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk 2 large eggs.
  3. Place 1 cup chopped walnuts on a separate large plate.
  4. Season trout fillets (about 4, 6-ounce fillets) with salt and pepper.
  5. Dredge each trout fillet in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Dip the floured fillet into the whisked eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
  7. Press both sides of the egg-coated fillet firmly into the chopped walnuts until completely covered.
  8. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in each of two large heavy-bottomed skillets over medium heat.
  9. Add 2 trout fillets to each skillet.
  10. Cook for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until the walnut crust is golden brown and the trout is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  11. Transfer the cooked trout fillets to serving plates.
  12. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over each fillet.
  13. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
