Trout Meuniere Recipe

I know I've said it before but I am a seafood fanatic, and we're not talking trips to Red Lobster fanatic we're talking fresh, wholesome cooked seafood of all varieties, including my current favorite, trout.

And after going through the simple steps I came out with quite possibly the most delicious piece of fish I'd ever tasted, and no I'm not exaggerating. So when I wanted to try my luck again this week, I was just as amazed to find that not only was it not a fluke the first time but it was just as amazing, if not better the second time, perhaps because of the extra oomph of wine I added...
