Method

6 steps · 20 minutes

  1. Salt the trout on both sides and leave it while you toast the almonds.
  2. 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.
  3. Fry the fillets skin-side down in half the butter for 3 minutes, then turn and give them 1 minute more.
  4. Lift the fish onto warm plates and wipe the pan out.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
