Open-faced, pan-seared trout power breakfast
Ingredients:
- 4 oz. portion of trout with skin on
- 2 oz. salted butter
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper
- 1 Tablespoon pickled red onions
- 1/2 avocado, sliced or mashed
- Sprig of fresh dill
- 1 slice of rye bread, toasted
Preparation:
1. Heat a medium-sized skillet or frying pan. Melt and spread the butter across the bottom of the pan. Place trout skin-side down on one side of the hot pan. Crack egg into the other side of the pan, and season both with salt and pepper.
2. Prep other ingredients while fish and egg are cooking. Spread or place avocado on toast. Flip fish and continue to cook until the fish is flaky when poked with a fork.
3. Place egg on prepped rye bread and stack trout on top. Place pickled red onion and dill sprigs to finish your open-faced sandwich. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
