Rainbow Trout with Pecan Brown Butter

So my local market happened to be out of catfish, which ruined my plans for some sweet blackening action, but to my delight they had rainbow trout fillets. Usually this beautiful fish is sold whole so I had to come up with something familiar yet designed for a fillet. I love these moments of "what the hell am I going to do with this?" Too bad you fucking suck at it so you have to read this trash. Let's begin:Wash and pat down your fillets. Dredge them in flour. "What does dredge mean?" Uh, are you fucking serious? Just turn your fillets over a plate of flour and give them a little shake, dumbass. Damn.
Toss your fish down in a hot ass skillet. Get your damn hand off that olive oil! Don't you think that if the title of the dish contains the word butter, we should probably use butter? Fucking idiot. Cook for 1-2 min per side and remove from heat.
Once your fish is done, toss in a stick of butter and sizzle that shit with 3/4c chopped pecans. Stir constantly and remove from heat after one minute.
Spoon the pecan butter over the rainbow trout. I also made some brown rice and I roasted some green beans (olive oil, salt and pepper 450 deg for 10 min - be sure to flip). Eat it.

Don't you live in a coastal state?

Don't judge me!

No the problem with living in a place like this is. You don't buy fish when your surrounded by them. Right now our fish selections are limited due to regulations (spawning season). I need to get out and get me some pompano they are running the beaches now and are the best fish in existence. - Coat fillets in brown mustard then dredge in crushed pistachios - fry in olive oil (peanut oil if you want to be fancy)
