Ingredients

• 4 pieces trout fillets
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup sliced almonds
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons parsley
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Brush the fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and arrange them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake the trout in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the trout is baking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the sliced almonds to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the lemon juice, allowing the butter to melt and create a rich almond sauce.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 9

Once the trout is done baking, transfer the fillets to serving plates.

Step 10

Spoon the almond sauce over the trout, making sure each fillet is generously coated.

Step 11

Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
