Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup finely chopped pecans

  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons flour

  • 1 large egg

  • 4 (4-ounces) rainbow trout fillets, thawed if frozen, skinned if desired

  • 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup

  • lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Stir together pecans, rosemary, and salt in a shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, add flour. In a third shallow dish, lightly beat egg. Dip one side of each fillet in flour, shaking off excess; dip into egg, then into pecan mixture, lightly pressing to coat fish.

  3. Working in batches if needed, arrange fillets on parchment paper, pecan-coating up. Transfer fish on parchment to the air fryer basket.

  4. Cook until fish easily flakes with a fork and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of fillets registers 145 degrees F (62 degrees C), 7 to 8 minutes.

  5.  Drizzle fillets with maple syrup and serve with lemon wedges.
