Parmesan Pecan Encrusted Trout with Grilled Veggies & Sauteed Spinach



We love trout and this easy parmesan pecan encrusted version was really enjoyable with grilled zuchini, peppers, onions and sauteed spinach.

Ingredients:
  • 4 trout fillets
  • 1 cup lightly toasted pecans, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups Italian bread crumbs
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary leaves
  • butter to dot the trout
  • 3 zucchini
  • 1/2 orange bell pepper
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 red onion
  • 6 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • extra virgin olive oil
Preparation:

Heat oven to 375. Heat grill pan to medium high. Cut the zucchini, onion, and peppers in large chunks and toss in extra virgin olive oil, garlic salt and fresh pepper; set aside in a bowl. Mix pecans, bread crumbs, parmesan, parsley, rosemary, salt & pepper in a shallow dish. Gently bread the trout filets in the bread mixture, pressing into the trout. On a foil-lined baking sheet, lay the trout skin side down and dot with butter. Begin grilling the veggies on the grill pan, allowing them to caramelize and get good color before tossing. Bake the trout at 375 for ~9 minutes or until flesh is white and flaky. While trout is the oven, saute garlic and spinach. Serve trout with veggies and spinach and enjoy.
