Ingredients for KC Trout

Method

Directions for KC Trout

  1. 1

    Prepare the Red Rice

    Rinse 1 cup of red rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30-35 minutes or until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Broccoli

    In a steamer basket over boiling water, steam the broccoli florets for about 5-7 minutes or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cajun Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic (from 4 cloves) and 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning. Stir frequently and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Trout

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the trout fillets with salt, black pepper, and additional Cajun seasoning if desired. Place the fillets in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the cooked trout fillets and drizzle generously with the Cajun garlic butter. Serve alongside the red rice and steamed broccoli.
