Baked Trout Almondine

Baked Trout Almondine is a delightful seafood dish featuring tender trout fillets topped with a nutty almond crust, perfectly complemented by a light lemon-butter sauce. This elegant yet simple recipe is a true celebration of fresh ingredients and flavors.

Ingredients

• Trout fillets - 2 pieces (approx. 150g each)
• Almonds, sliced - 50g
• Butter - 50g
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Parsley, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
2. In a small skillet, melt 25g of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and toast them until golden brown, stirring frequently, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
4. Place the trout fillets skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the lemon-butter mixture evenly over the fillets.
5. Sprinkle the toasted almonds on top of the trout fillets, pressing them gently to adhere.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the trout flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
7. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
