prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes

The secret to a deliciously crispy trout is to rinse and then pat the fish dry completely before brushing it with oil and cooking
it in a hot pan.

4 tablespoons trans-fat free margarine, melted
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed
4 (5 to 6 Ounce) trout fillets, skin on
1 1/2 teaspoons canola oil, plus extra for brushing fish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Whisk margarine, lemon juice, and capers together in a mixing bowl until smooth.
Rinse trout under cold water and pat dry well with paper towels.
Brush with oil and season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until rippling not smoking. Add trout,
skin side down and cook for 3 minutes; turn and cook 1 minute longer. Make sure fish is cooked thoroughly.
Remove from pan, top with lemon sauce and serve hot.
