Ingredients

  • 3 pounds mountain trout fillets, cut into 4-ounce portions
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup butter

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.
