ingredients
Steps
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.
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.
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.
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.
