Cornmeal-Crusted Rainbow Trout Sandwiches
In this recipe, we drain the bacon fat out of the pan and fry the fish in vegetable oil. For a more pronounced bacon flavour, you can use the bacon fat and omit the oil. Add lettuce and sliced tomato for a yummy twist on a BLT.

8 slices bacon
4 skinless rainbow trout fillets (1 lb/500 g)
1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
1/3 cup (75 mL) cornmeal
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil

2 tbsp (25 mL) sweet green relish
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped rinsed drained capers

Preparation:
Cut bacon in half crosswise. In nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, fry bacon, turning once, until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain. Drain fat from pan; wipe clean.
Meanwhile, sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Sprinkle cornmeal in shallow dish; press fish into cornmeal, turning to coat.
In same skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry fish, turning once, until crisp, golden and flakes easily when tested, 6 to 8 minutes.
