Servings: persons

6 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 medium shallot
salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs
vegetable oil
Lemon wedges
6 anchovy fillets
4 large skinless trout
3 c. soft, fresh, coarsely ground brioche bread crumbs
1 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1 fresh red chile

1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a bowl, blend the butter, anchovies, chile, shallot, and lemon zest, and season with salt and pepper.
2
In a large, shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
3
Put the bread crumbs in another large shallow bowl.
4
Season the trout with salt and pepper and dip each fillet in the egg, letting the excess drip off.
5
Dredge the trout in the bread crumbs, pressing to help them adhere.
6
Set a plate lined with paper towels and a baking sheet with a rack near the stove.
7
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil until shimmering.
8
Add 2 of the trout fillets and cook over moderately high heat, turning once, until browned and crisp, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side; reduce the heat to moderate if the fillets brown too quickly.
9
Drain the trout on the paper towels, transfer the fillets to the rack and keep warm in the oven.
10
Using a slotted spoon, discard any dark crumbs in the skillet and add more oil if needed to fry the remaining 2 trout fillets.
11
Serve the trout with the lemon-chile butter and lemon wedges.
