Yield: 6 Servings

15 5 20

Ingredients

3 pounds mountain trout fillets, cut into 4-ounce portions
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup butter
Juice of 2 lemons
1/2 cup chicken or brown gravy, optional

Directions

Season trout with salt and pepper; dredge with flour. Heat oil in a skillet. Saute trout quickly in hot oil, browning evenly on both sides.
Remove trout to a shallow baking pan. Bake at 350° for 5-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork; keep warm.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat butter until butter begins to brown. Carefully add lemon juice (hot butter will bubble with juice is added). Blend in gravy if desired. Spoon sauce over fish or serve on the side. Yield: 6 servings.
