How do I know when my trout is fully cooked?

Trout is fully cooked when it becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F. Using a food thermometer can help ensure perfect results.

Can I use other nuts for the crust?

Yes! While pecans are a classic choice, you can substitute with walnuts, almonds, or even hazelnuts for a different flavor. Just make sure to grind them finely to create a similar texture.

Is it possible to make this recipe gluten-free?

Absolutely! Simply use gluten-free breadcrumbs in place of regular breadcrumbs, and make sure the flour is gluten-free as well. This will make the recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
