Steps

1

Prepare the Trout

Season the cleaned trout inside and out with salt and pepper. On a shallow plate, combine the flour with the sliced almonds. Dredge the trout in the almond-flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.

2

Cook Green Beans

In a medium saucepan, bring salted water to a boil, then cook the green beans for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside. In a skillet, melt 20g of butter, add the green beans, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until heated through and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with chopped parsley.

3

Fry the Trout

In a large frying pan, heat 30g of butter and the olive oil over medium heat. Once the butter is foaming, carefully place the trout in the pan. Fry for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, and the fish flakes easily. If necessary, cook in batches.

4

Serve

Serve the almond-crusted trout immediately with the buttered green beans. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and garnish with lemon slices or fresh parsley.

Extra Tips

Don't overcook the trout, as it can dry out; it's done when the flesh flakes easily from the bone.

If you like garlic, sauté a minced clove of garlic with the green beans in butter.

Instead of almonds, you can use other nuts like chopped walnuts or hazelnuts for the crust.
