Ingredients
4 trout fillets, skin-on
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons butter
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Trout: Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper, then lightly coat in flour, shaking off any excess.
Toast the Almonds: In a large skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Pan-Sear the Trout: In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the trout fillets, skin side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Transfer the trout to a serving platter.
Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the lemon juice and toasted almonds, stirring to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce is heated through.
Serve: Pour the almond butter sauce over the trout fillets. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Success Tips: Ensure the trout fillets are dry before coating in flour to achieve a crispy skin.
Pairing Suggestions: Serve with roasted vegetables, steamed asparagus, or a light salad for a complete meal.
