Fish with Toasted Pecan Butter Sauce Recipe
"This fish in toasted pecan butter sauce recipe takes the homey flavors of a backcountry Cajun fish fry and merges them with the elegant nuances of a New Orleans restaurant. Pureed toasted pecans add incredible depth and silky texture to a garlic and hot pepper-infused butter sauce. This fantastic meal can be made so easily that it works for a thrown-together weeknight meal or a planned dinner party. Cook’s note: This recipe calls for trout fillets, but any firm-fleshed fish will do...."
