I agree on the trout amandine. I make that pretty frequently. Excellent dish.

You can grill it, as well. It's easier if the filets still have the skin on.

Trout Ranchero

8 speckled trout, redfish, or catfish fillets    

4 sheets of aluminum foil cut to size 

1 stick melted butter, melted    

Lemon Juice

Zest of the lemons    

1 bottle name-brand ranch dressing    

8 tablespoons crispy-fried bacon crumbles

4 cups rough-mashed boiled red potatoes

  

Next, tear off 4 sheets of aluminum foil to accommodate the size of the fillets Then, after placing two fillets on each of the sheets. Follow the steps—as follows:

 

1—Evenly drizzle about 2 tablespoons of melted butter over each fillet

2—Splash lemon juice over each fillet

3—Then top each fillet with a uniform coating of 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing

4—Finally finish up the dish by scattering on a half-handful of bacon crumbles. 

At this point, agitate the foil sheet gently to level out the seasonings and toppings. 

Then roll each fillet tightly inside of the foil, seal it up, and set it in a single layer on the grill grate. 

They should be done in about 30 minutes. 

When it’s time to serve them, place two fillets on each plate, slit the foil open, pipe on a generous portion of mashed potatoes.

You need to move that up the list, then. You'll enjoy it and it's so easy. I just wing it and mine is probably part meuniere part amandine. I like a lot of green onions in mine. I did jumbo lump crabmeat meuniere over the weekend with some leftover crab. I add a little sherry to that one.

Grilling on the half shell is delicious also. I've done a potato crusted with small red potatoes very thinly sliced and put on one side of the flesh like fish scales. Fry it potato side down in clarified butter or ghee until the potatoes are crisp and golden and then flip to finish. Fresh green beans would go very well with that.

Explain. All ears.

Over med heat, melt 2 or 3 T of butter (very light coat in the skillet). Season the filets with either your fav blackened seasoning, lightly, or a good dusting of paprika and your favorite cajun/creole seasoning. Drop in the fish and let them sit until opaque 1/2 up the filet. Then flip with a spatula and cook @ another one and a half minutes. The whole process takes less than five. Squeeze on a little lemon and your set. Simple and delicious .

Understood. I've done that, minus the lemon.
