ingredients

3 scallions
2 tablespoons low-sodium teriyaki sauce
1 garlic clove
4 trout fillets
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
¹⁄₂ cup whole grain cereal
¹⁄₄ cup pecans
2 tablespoons fresh basil

directions

Toast and chop your pecans, coarsely crush the whole grain cereal, chop your scallions and mince your garlic.
In a glass baking dish combine the scallions, teriyaki sauce and garlic. Add the fillets, turning to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate 1 - 2 hours.
I a pie plate, combine the read crumbs, cereal and pecans. Remove the trout from the marinade one at a time and place in the plate. Press into the crumb mixture to coat all sides. Repeat with remaining fillets, discarding the marinade.
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add the trout, and cook for 3 minutes, or until browned (don't over cook or it will be dry) it should flake easily when tested with fork. Sprinkle with the basil and enjoy.
I roast some yams/sweet potatoes with garlic, salt and oil and serve along side this dish (of course, I would roast this until done then do the fish) Or you can do the black bean salad I have posted.
