Method

Preparing the Trout

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Trout

    In a shallow dish, mix the chopped pecans, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Dip each trout fillet in the beaten egg, then coat with the pecan mixture.

  3. 3

    Bake the Trout

    Place the coated trout on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the trout is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.

Making the Molasses Butter

  1. 4

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, molasses, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Preparing the Wild Rice and Grilled Vegetables

  1. 5

    Cook the Wild Rice

    In a saucepan, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the wild rice, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until tender.

  2. 6

    Grill the Vegetables

    While the rice is cooking, toss the bell peppers and zucchini with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill them on a grill pan or outdoor grill for about 5-7 minutes or until tender and slightly charred.
