What is your favorite recipe for fresh(ish) trout?

A neighbor gave us a bunch of fillets of trout he'd caught a few days ago. We froze them, and are thawing them now for dinner tonight. But we still don't have the recipe we're going to use yet.

What is your favorite recipe for preparing trout? Shouldn't be anything that requires too fancy ingredients. If the recipe's on-line, a link will be sufficient.

If we end up making one of the ones we get, I'll pick it as "Best Answer". Otherwise, I'll just pick the one that sounds tastiest. :)

If I had some Trout to cook up, this is the way I like to fix it. This site has great recipes and review on many. Enjoy.

Pan Fried Trout

Serves 4

Ingredients:

* 2 lbs trout (Whole or Fillets)
* 1/2 cup cornmeal
* 3 tablespoons butter
* salt & pepper

Directions:

1. Rinse the trout under cold running water (or in the beautiful mountain lake/stream you caught them in).
2. Pat dry.
3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (I take a zip lock baggie in my pack with salt/pepper/garlic powder mixed together).
4. Melt the butter in a large heavy skillet on medium-high heat.
5. Coat the trout in corn meal and shake off the excess.
6. When the butter is melted, place the coated trout, flesh side down, in the skillet.
7. Fry 4-5 minutes, then turn and fry 4-5 minutes or until the flesh is golden brown and flaky. (Trout may be seasoned with garlic or onion powder before frying if desired, I also take a lemon with me to squeeze over the top).

• Didn't end up going with any of the recipes on this page (yet) but as I'm pressed to choose an answer this would rank as the best out of a great bunch.

Yep. This is the way I like it. While Papa and I were catching it, Mima would fry it up with hush puppies.

I agree, That is exactly the way my mama used to make them.
The little bitty ones that were barely keepers were fried whole and eaten like corn-on the cob. ( Yum )

Poor Man's Beer Batter Fish

PREP TIME 4 Min
COOK TIME 5 Min
READY IN 9 Min

* 2 pounds trout fillets
* 1/2 cup oil for frying

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. Pour beer into the pancake mix container in place of the water it calls for. Make the batter as thick or thin as you prefer. Close the lid, give it a few shakes, and boom it's done.

3. Dip fish into the batter using a pair of tongs, or if you want to dirty a dish, pour the batter in a bowl first. If you cut your fish into smaller pieces, you can toss them into the container, close the lid and shake it a couple of times, then carefully remove the coated pieces.

4. Remove the fish from the batter , and place into the hot oil. Fry the fish until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

* 2 teaspoons garlic salt
* 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, sliced

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rinse fish, and pat dry.

2. Rub fillets with olive oil, and season with garlic salt and black pepper. Place each fillet on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Top with jalapeno slices, and squeeze the juice from the ends of the lemons over the fish. Arrange lemon slices on top of fillets. Carefully seal all edges of the foil to form enclosed packets. Place packets on baking sheet.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of fish. Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
