Panfried Trout with Almonds and Parsley

Chopped almonds contribute substantial fiber, calcium, potassium, and zinc to simply prepared trout fillets. For a light supper, serve the fish with baby lettuce leaves and lemon wedges for squeezing over the dish.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons neutral-lasting oil, such as canola or safflower
4 skin-on trout fillets (preferably U.S. farmed)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 ounces raw whole almonds, coarsely chopped
1 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
Finely grated zest plus freshly squeezed juice of 2 lemons

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Season fillets with 3/4 teaspoon salt, dividing evenly, and pepper. Gently place 2 fillets in skillet, skin side up. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until golden brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip fish, using two spatulas if necessary. Cook until slightly flaky in the center when pierced with a fork, about 2 minutes more. Transfer fish to a serving platter; keep in a warm spot. Wipe out skillet, and repeat with 1 teaspoon oil and remaining 2 fillets.

    Step 2

    Wipe out skillet again; add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the almonds. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until almonds start to turn golden, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and immediately add parsley and lemon zest; stir to combine. Stir in lemon juice; as soon as it starts to bubble, pour sauce over fish. Serve immediately.
