3/4 cup pecans, finely chopped

Equipment

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.
