1/2 oz. pecans
1 tsp. orange zest
Juice from half of the orange
2 tsp. packed brown sugar
Salt and Pepper to taste

Here is how you make Pecan-Crusted Orange Trout:

1.) Rinse the trout fillet, then pat dry with a paper towel and sprinkle very liberally with kosher salt and pepper. (Don't skip this to "avoid sodium." You NEED the salt to keep the fish moist while cooking) Lay skin side down on a foil-lined baking sheet.2.) Crush or finely chop the pecans with a rolling pin or clean coffee mill3.) Combine the nuts with the brown sugar and zest, then sprinkle the mixture all over the fish, lightly patting it down. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Turn on the broiler while you wait, and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the coil/flame.4.) Drizzle the orange juice all over the fish to just barely moisten the coating.5.) Broil for 10 minutes, or until the temperature in the thickest part of the fish hits 137 degrees F.Allow the fish to rest for 5 minutes before serving, which will let the fish finish cooking AND the coating to set.Enjoy! This is especially good alongside steamed broccoli or asparagus, with roasted sweet potatoes.Serving Size: 4 ounces (1/2 of the fillet)Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BTVMADS.
