We've coated this freshwater catch with a mixture of oats and pecans for a wonderfully crunchy crust. Ready in 25 quick minutes, these filets and spinach pair well with a simple rice pilaf, where rice is cooked with a quick saute of celery, onion and thyme. Parboiled rice make quick work of that side for a full and filling meal. Trout is a family-friendly choice here with a clean and mild flavour with a tender texture. Kids will like the nutty coating and simple flavours, so this is a great way to introduce fish into your weekly meals. The speedy cook time means this can be a featured meal any night of the week, even the busy ones. The Cajun seasoning adds a lot of flavour and cuts the time to prepare your own spice blend. If you have another flavouring you prefer, you can use it in its place.
