Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces whole trout
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Rinse the whole trout under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove any remaining scales or bones, if necessary.
Season the inside of the trout with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the trout in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the floured trout in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked through. Remove the trout from the skillet and place on a serving platter. Keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Cook over medium heat until the butter begins to brown and develop a nutty aroma.
Add the sliced almonds to the butter and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the almonds are golden brown.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Pour the almond butter sauce over the trout and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or rice pilaf.
