Make
- Heat oven to 425F (218C) degrees.
- Make fritter batter by combining zucchini with ricotta, eggs, flour, salt and black pepper.
- Line sheet pan with foil and brush with some cooking oil. Add trout, skin-side down. Combine mayonnaise and mustard and spread evenly over fish. Melt butter in the microwave and combine with panko, salt and pepper. Press breading onto the top of the fish. Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes.
- While fish is cooking, heat a saute pan or skillet over medium heat. Add cooking oil. When oil begins to shimmer, test the fritter batter by adding a heaping spoonful to the pan. If the fritter is mostly liquid and spreads out, add a bit more flour to the batter. Cook the remaining fritters in batches until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- Enjoy trout with corn relish spooned over top and zucchini fritters on the side.
