Ingredients

• 2 pieces fresh trout fillets
• 4 slices bacon
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 piece lemon
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the trout fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

Dredge each trout fillet lightly in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and reserve the bacon fat in the skillet.

Step 5

Add the unsalted butter to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat. Once melted, place the trout fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

While the trout is cooking, slice the lemon into wedges and chop the fresh parsley.

Step 7

Once the trout is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it onto serving plates. Top each fillet with the crispy bacon slices.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious breakfast!
