ingredients
Steps
Prepare the Trout
Pat the cleaned trout dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and pepper inside and out. Lightly dust them with flour, shaking off any excess.
Cook Green Beans
Steam or boil the green beans in lightly salted water for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain them, then melt the butter in a pan, add the beans, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for a few minutes.
Pan-Fry Trout
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the trout in the pan and fry for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Toast Almonds & Serve
In a separate dry pan, toast the almond flakes over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, stirring constantly. Serve the pan-fried trout with the buttered green beans, sprinkle with toasted almonds, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and garnish with chopped parsley.
Extra Tips
► Don't overcook the trout, as it can easily dry out; the fish is done when the flesh flakes easily from the bone.
► If you love garlic, you can add a minced clove of garlic to the green beans along with the butter.
► Besides lemon juice, you can also grate a little lemon zest over the fish before cooking for an even more intense flavor.
