Time 20m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 -5 medium trout fillets (Catfish works well with this recipe also)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup nuts, finely chopped (any kind will do, but I prefer either almonds or pecans)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
vegetable oil (about 1 inch in a frying pan)

Steps:

Beat egg with water in a shallow bowl.
Roll trout in the flour.
In a small paper or large ziplock bag, combine cornmeal, chopped nuts, salt, pepper, paprika, and ground cumin.
One piece at a time, dip fish in egg and then place in bag and toss to coat.
Heat veggie oil in frying pan over medium heat.
Fry fish in oil, turning once, till both sides are brown (approx 10 minutes total).
You can tell when the fish is done, because you can flake it with a fork.
My hubby likes to sprinkle a little lemon or lime juice on his fish, but I like it just the way it is!
