This method of coating fish with dried morel powder is a wonderful way to use broken pieces of dried morels-never wasting a bit of the precious spring bounty! Serve the moist fish on a bed of fresh romaine watercress salad, tossed with oven-roasted morels. Trout season opens just before morel season in Minnesota. Actually any type of trout, walleye, or mild white fish fillets could be substituted.

Heat oven to 500 degrees F. Place large cast iron or heavy ovenproof skillet in oven. Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly rub the flesh side of each fillet with butter. season with salt and pepper. Spread morel powder on plate. Lay each fillet, buttered-side down, in morel powder to coat. Let fish stand, coating side up, for 10 minutes (coating will adhere better). Remove hot skillet from oven; spray with nonstick cooking spray. Lay 4 fillets, skin-side down, in skillet. bake for 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Remove from skillet; keep warm. Repeat with remaining fish fillets.
