Matzo Meal-Crusted Trout

Ingredients

  1. 1 large egg
    1/4 cup water
    Kosher salt
    1 cup matzo meal
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    Eight 6-ounce rainbow trout fillets with skin, rinsed and patted dry
    6 tablespoons vegetable oil
    Oregano Oil, recipe below

Directions

  1. In a bowl, beat the egg and water with a pinch of salt. In a shallow baking dish, toss the matzo meal with the pepper, garlic powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt.
  2. Dip the trout fillets in the beaten egg, then dredge in the matzo meal mixture; transfer to a baking sheet.
  3. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in each of 2 large nonstick skillets. Add 4 fillets, skin side up, to each skillet and cook over moderately high heat until browned at the edges, 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the skin is crisp and the fish is just opaque throughout, about 3 minutes.
  4. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with salt. Serve with the Oregano Oil.

Serves 8.

Oregano Oil [2]

3 oregano sprigs, lightly crushed
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

In a glass measuring cup, combine the oregano and olive oil. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 and up to 2 days. The oil can be refrigerated for up to 1 week. Discard the sprigs before using.

Makes 2/3 cup.
