Ingredients

2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
4 trout fillets
¼ cup cornmeal
½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup butter

1 cup white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon drained capers

Instructions

Press 1/2 teaspoon of the rosemary needles into the flesh of each trout fillet. Combine the cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Coat the fillets in the seasoned flour. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the trout and sauté until cooked through (about 2 1/2 minutes per side). Remove the trout from the pan and place on warmed plates. Add the tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the wine and reduce to 1/3 cup (about 5 minutes). Stir in the lemon juice, capers and remaining rosemary and remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the sauce over the trout and serve immediately.
