"I always plan dinner first thing in the morning. That's the only way I can get through the day, having a specific meal to look forward to at night."
-Alan King, Comic
This is a quick and simple dish that works for a weeknight meal as well as a perfect dinner party dish. There's fish with pumpkin seeds and olive oil all high in monounsaturated fats. You can use any herb that takes your fancy. Oregano and lime juice are great examples of substitutions.

1 | egg white |
1/2 tsp | grated lemon peel |
1/4 tsp | salt |
1/4 tsp | tarragon |
1/8 tsp | ground dry mustard |
1/8 tsp | fresh ground black pepper |
2 ounces | dried pumpkin seeds |
2 tsp | olive oil |
2 | 4 ounce trout filets |
juice of 1/2 lemon |
Preheat the oven to 400F. Place a large ovenproof skillet in the oven.
Whisk together the egg white, lemon peel, salt, tarragon, mustard and black pepper.
Place the pumpkin seeds in a mini chopper and chop until the seeds are broken into small pieces. This should take only five to eight pulses. Alternatively, you can place the seeds in a zippered plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
When the pan is hot, dredge the flesh side of the fish in the egg white mixture, then dredge in the pumpkin seeds. Coat only one side of the trout.
Place the olive oil in the hot pan, swirling to coat the bottom of the skillet well. Place the trout, coated side down, in the pan. Cook for 8 minutes and add the lemon juice to the pan. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes and serve.
