Ingredients
- 4 trout fillets
- 1 cup cashews, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Cashew Crust: In a bowl, combine the chopped cashews, crumbled feta, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a cohesive crust mixture.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Trout: Pat the trout fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Coat the Trout: Gently press the cashew and feta mixture onto the top side of each trout fillet to create a crust.
- Cook the Trout: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Place the trout fillets crust-side down in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Carefully flip the fillets and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the trout is cooked through.
- Make the Cinnamon Chocolate Drizzle: While the trout is baking, heat the milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the chocolate chips and stir until melted and smooth. Stir in the ground cinnamon and the active dry yeast. Allow the mixture to cool slightly until it thickens.
- Serve: Once the trout is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Drizzle the cinnamon chocolate sauce over the trout just before serving.
