Directions
Rinse the trout under cold running water.
Pat dry.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Melt the butter in a large heavy skillet on medium-high heat.
Coat the trout in corn meal and shake off the excess.
When the butter is melted, place the coated trout, flesh side down, in the skillet.
Fry 4 to 5 minutes, then turn and fry 4 to 5 minutes or until the flesh is golden brown and flaky.
(Trout may be seasoned with garlic or onion powder before frying, if desired.)
