Steps
- 1
Pat trout fillets dry. Mix Dijon and honey, then brush over the top of each fillet.
- 2
Combine chopped pecans, panko, parsley, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- 3
Press the pecan mixture firmly onto the mustard-coated side of each fillet.
- 4
Air fry at 380°F for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and fish flakes easily with a fork.
- 5
Serve with lemon wedges and fresh dill.
Tip: Chop the pecans by hand — a food processor turns them to paste. The Dijon-honey layer acts as glue for the crust. Don't flip the fish — cook crust-side up the entire time.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 12 minutes vs ~18 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🌊Gentle, even heat cooks fish through without drying it out — no flipping required.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
