Trout almondine is a classic French dish that takes no time to make, and is super flavorful and beautiful!

Ingredients 

  • 2 skin-on fillets of trout 
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • All-purpose flour 
  •  1 tablespoon of olive oil
  •  3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  •  3-4 tablespoons of lemon juice
  •  1/4 cup of finely chopped parsley
  •  1 1/2  tablespoons of capers
  •  1/4 cup of toasted sliced almonds

Instruction

  1. Begin by seasoning the trout fillets with salt and pepper to your taste. Then, pour a thin layer of flour at the bottom of a shallow dish or bowl and lightly coat the fillets in flour, shaking off any excess. 
  2. In a non-stick skillet, add in the olive oil and heat over medium until hot. Put the trout skin side down and cook for 2-3 minutes, pressing down on it so the skin has as much contact with the pan as possible. This will ensure a crispy skin. 
  3. Flip it and cook for 1-2 minutes. 
  4. Put the fillets to the side and wipe out any extra oil from the pan and melt the butter over medium for 2-3 minutes. 
  5. Pour in lemon juice, add in parsley, capers, and almond, and turn off the heat. 
  6. Mix everything, taste and season if necessary, then pour over the fish and enjoy!
