Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces trout fillets
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels.
On a plate, mix the all-purpose flour with salt and black pepper. Lightly dredge each trout fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the trout fillets to the skillet, skin-side down if the skin is on. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt and turn a light golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sliced almonds to the browned butter and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the almonds are toasted and fragrant.
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, cooking for 1 more minute to combine the flavors.
Pour the almond and butter sauce over the cooked trout fillets.
Serve the Trout Almondine immediately with lemon wedges on the side for garnish.
