Ingredients
- 4 whole Trout (cleaned and scaled)
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- 2 Tbsp Butter
- 1/2 cup Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp Almond Flakes
- 1 Lemon (cut into wedges)
- Parsley (fresh)
Directions
Season both the inside and outside of the trout with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the trout and cook for about 5 minutes per side, turning every 2-3 minutes to help the fish cook evenly. The fish is done cooking when the fish pulls apart easily with a fork.
When the fish is done cooking, remove from the skillet and cover with foil to keep warm. Add the almonds to the same frying pan and fry over medium high heat until they are toasted, about 3 minutes. Remove from pan once cooked.
Sprinkle the almonds wedges and chopped parsley on top of the fish, and serve with lemon wedges to squeeze on to the fish. Enjoy!
