suggestions for really boring fillets

My mom used to crust fish in ground pecans before pan-frying it in
butter. Served with a sour cream - dijon mustard sauce. You could use a
tofu sub for the sour cream, or use soy pplain yogurt, or think of
another way to do a mustard sauce. Pretty good with fish or chicken.

In NM I used to eat baked trout that had been drizzled with honey and
sprinkled with red chile powder and a little cayenne.

I've also had tortilla crusted fish with cilantro, lime, and chili
powder. Top this with guacamole.

Lemon slices, lemon pepper and lots of dill weed. :-)

And a bit of butter.

I hate to burst your bubble but trout is MEAT. Unless you have some
weird veggie tofu trout that is. I have no suggestions as they include
milk or other lactose products.

Use them as sex aids!

Coat them with chermoula before pan frying.

One of the best solutions for bland fish I've found other than using
it in soups or stews, is a fresh salsa of tomato, cilantro, garlic,
onion (white or green), jalapenos or serranos, and lime juice. You can
put a layer of salsa on the fish and wrap it in foil or parchment (I
some times throw in a few shrimp too). The salsa will add flavor to
the fish. Serve the remaining fresh salsa at the table. It will liven
up the flavor even more. I do this for snapper and trout and sometimes
for halibut.

The last time I had trout I used this recipe and it was quite tasty. From
recipes.com:

TROUT ALMONDINE

2 lbs. trout filets, fresh or thawed
1/4 c. sliced almonds
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1 tsp. paprika
1/4 c. melted butter
2 tbsp. lemon juice
4 to 5 drops hot pepper sauce
1 tbsp. chopped parsley

Cut filets into serving size portions. Combine flour, seasoned salt, and
paprika; mix well. Roll fish in flour mixture. Place fish in a single
layer, skin side down, in a well-greased shallow baking pan. Drizzle 2
tablespoons melted butter over fish. Broil about 4 inches from heat about
10 minutes until white through.

In small skillet, saute almonds in 2 tablespoons butter until golden brown,
stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add lemon juice, hot pepper sauce,
and parsley; mix. Pour over fish and serve at once. Makes 6 servings.

And use any left-over salsa for juevos rancheros the following
morning... nothing gets your day goin' like a good protein/jalapeno
kick. Kev
