Ingredients
2/3 cup finely chopped pecans
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons flour
1 large egg
4 (4-ounces) rainbow trout fillets, thawed if frozen, skinned if desired
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Stir together pecans, rosemary, and salt in a shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, add flour. In a third shallow dish, lightly beat egg. Dip one side of each fillet in flour, shaking off excess; dip into egg, then into pecan mixture, lightly pressing to coat fish.
Working in batches if needed, arrange fillets on parchment paper, pecan-coating up. Transfer fish on parchment to the air fryer basket.
Cook until fish easily flakes with a fork and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of fillets registers 145 degrees F (62 degrees C), 7 to 8 minutes.
Drizzle fillets with maple syrup and serve with lemon wedges.
