Fried Trout Fillets

~ 6 trout fillets
~ buttermilk
~ 1 cup flour
~ 2 tsp salt
~ 1 tsp black pepper
~ 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
~ 1/4 cup olive oil
~ 1/2 stick butter

Place the fillets in a glass dish and cover with buttermilk. Let soak for at least 15 minutes.

In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper together. ADjust to taste.

In a skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.

Roll the fillets in the flour mixture and coat evenly. If you want thicker crust, after rolling the fillets in the flour once, dip them in the buttermilk and then roll in the flour again.

Add the fillets to the hot oil. Brown on both sides.
