Pretzel Crusted Trout with Steamed Zucchini, Sun Gold Tomatoes and Honey Mustard Sauce
INGREDIENTS
For the Trout:
- 4 Rainbow Trout Natural Fillets, thawed
- 4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons mustard (yellow, Dijon, or grain)
- 2 cups pretzels, crushed in a food processor or in a zip top bag with a rolling pin
- ¼ cup olive oil
For vegetable sauté:
- 1 large zucchini, diced into ¾ inch pieces
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ pint sungold tomatoes (any tomatoes can be substituted)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the honey mustard sauce:
- ¼ cup mustard of your choice
- ¼ cup honey
DIRECTIONS
- Season the rainbow trout with salt and pepper, then spread the mustard evenly on each fillet.
- Spread crushed pretzels onto a plate. Firmly press the trout fillets into the pretzels so they adhere well to the mustard.
- Heat oil on high in a skillet until oil shimmers. Add trout fillets, crumb side down. Cook until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes, then flip and cook for 2 more minutes on the other side.
- In another pan, sauté zucchini, garlic, and tomatoes in olive oil until tender and season with salt and pepper.
- Mix mustard and honey together and set aside.
- Spoon the zucchini-tomato mixture onto a plate. Lay trout on top and drizzle honey mustard sauce on top of the rainbow trout.
