Ingredients

• 4 pieces trout fillets
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cups sliced almonds
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with the salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Spread the flour on a large plate. Lightly dredge each trout fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and slightly foaming.

Step 4

Add the trout fillets to the skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate tented with foil to keep warm.

Step 5

Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, then return it to medium heat. Add the remaining butter and allow it to melt.

Step 6

Once the butter is melted and slightly browned, add the sliced almonds. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the almonds are golden and fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Step 8

Return the cooked trout fillets to the skillet, spooning the almond-butter sauce over the top to coat.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
