Cooking Directions
Prepare the Saffron Aioli
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, saffron threads, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
Prepare the Fish
Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Cooking the Trout
Choose your cooking method (pan-fried, blackened, or grilled). For pan-frying, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. For blackened, use a hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until charred. For grilling, preheat the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side.
Serve
Plate the trout fillets alongside the sautéed asparagus or green beans. Drizzle the saffron aioli over the trout and serve immediately.
