Trout Stuffed with Crawfish Dressing

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400?F.

Melt the butter over medium heat in a medium-size skillet. Add the onion, bell pepper, 2 teaspoons of the salt, and the cayenne, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring a few times. Add the crawfish tails and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the green onions, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of the parsley and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Pour the mixture into a medium-size mixing bowl and let cool for about 2 minutes. Add the egg and bread crumbs and mix well. Set aside.

Season the flesh of the fish with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Stuff each fish with 1/2 cup of the dressing mixture. Rub the skin of each fish with 1/4 teaspoon of the olive oil.

Bake the fish on a baking sheet until it flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes. To serve, place the fish on plates and spoon the lemon sauce over it and garnish with the remaining 2 teaspoons parsley.
