    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    2. For grilling: Preheat grill on high heat. Place trout directly on the grill, fillet side down. Cook for 4 minutes. Turn fillets over and cook until fish flakes easily with fork, about 3 to 5 minutes.

    3. For baking: Preheat oven to 350° F. Place trout skin side down on a large sheet pan. Bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until the trout flakes easily with a fork.

  • Corn and Cheese Phyllo Empanadas

    Corn and Cheese Phyllo Empanadas

    How to Make Corn and Cheese Phyllo Empanadas

    Greek phyllo dough stands in as a low fat alternative to traditional empanada dough in this classic Latin comfort food. You can find prepared phyllo dough in the freezer section at the grocery store. These empanadas are filled with a savory combination of corn, red peppers, and mozzarella cheese. For something sweet, you could fill the dough with cheese and guava paste.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion
      and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 6 minutes. Add
      the corn, roasted red peppers, and scallions; cook 2 minutes. Add the half-andhalf,
      stirring, until the liquid is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the cheese. Let cool slightly.
    2. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray.
    3. Place one sheet of phyllo lengthwise on a work surface (cover the remaining
      phyllo with plastic wrap to keep from drying out). Lightly spray the phyllo
      sheet with nonstick spray; top with a second phyllo sheet and lightly spray with
      nonstick spray. With a sharp knife, cut the layered sheets in half lengthwise.
      Repeat this layering and cutting process with the remaining phyllo sheets to
      make a total of 8 strips of dough.
    4. Place a heaping Tbsp of filling to the left on the bottom end of one strip of phyllo.
      Fold one corner of the phyllo strip up and over the filling, then continue folding
      and overlapping, flag-fashion, to form a triangle. Place on the baking sheet and
      repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling to make a total of 8 empanadas.
    5. Lightly spray the empanadas with nonstick spray. Bake until the empanadas are
      golden brown, 15–20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
