Pecan Crusted Trout with Beurre Blanc Sauce

“A Beurre blanc sauce is a classic French butter sauce and it is great on most seafood.  This is the basic sauce recipe to start with and if you like, you can add additional flavor with liquors or fruit juice. I would serve this with fresh lemon wedges and rice pilaf or with a salad in the summer.” ncagr
