Pan Fried Trout

This adoptee is the way we make trout on our backpacking trips, we take corneal and butter packets and hope we catch dinner. Just as easy to make at home, its a taste of the outdoors.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Rinse the trout under cold running water (or in the beautiful mountain lake/stream you caught them in).
  2. 2
    Pat dry.
  3. 3
    Sprinkle with salt and pepper (I take a zip lock baggie in my pack with salt/pepper/garlic powder mixed together).
  4. 4
    Melt the butter in a large heavy skillet on medium-high heat.
  5. 5
    Coat the trout in corn meal and shake off the excess.
  6. 6
    When the butter is melted, place the coated trout, flesh side down, in the skillet.
  7. 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).

My 20 year old son caught himself a few nice trout the other day and wanted me to cook them for him. Instead, I went to Recipezaar and found a recipe I thought he would like that he could master himself. He did great. The trout were wonderful and now he can probably manage cooking them himself over a campfire with this easy, straightforward recipe. They were delicious!

    We have trout all the time but usually we smoke or grill it. I found this recipe and tried it and added alittle oil and used a cast iron skillet to fry them in. I also added paprika to the cornmeal,salt and pepper mixture. The trout was most excellant! Thanks for sharing your recipe Dawnab! Its a keeper!
