6 steps · 20 minutes
- Salt the trout on both sides and leave it while you toast the almonds.
- Toast the sliced almonds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2 minutes, moving them constantly, until they smell nutty. Tip them out — they will burn in the butter otherwise.
- Fry the fillets skin-side down in half the butter for 3 minutes, then turn and give them 1 minute more.
- Lift the fish onto warm plates and wipe the pan out.
- Melt the remaining butter and keep it moving. Watch for the foam to subside and the solids at the base to turn hazelnut brown — about 90 seconds, and it burns in the next thirty.
- Off the heat, add the almonds, the parsley and a squeeze of lemon, then pour the lot over the fish while it is still fizzing.
