Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh trout filets
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Pat the trout filets dry with paper towels and set them aside on a clean plate.
Combine the flour, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge each trout filet lightly in the seasoned flour to coat, shaking off any excess.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the trout filets skin-side up in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown. Carefully flip the filets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the trout is cooked through. Remove the filets and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice and parsley, then remove the skillet from the heat.
Plate the trout filets and spoon the almond-lemon butter sauce generously over each piece.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dish, such as steamed vegetables or wild rice.
