Pan-Seared Trout with Almonds

Method

1. 1

   Cook the green beans in boiling water for 4–5 minutes until just tender, then drain.

2. 2

   Pat the trout dry and dust lightly with flour, seasoning with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Melt half the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the trout skin-side down for 3–4 minutes, then flip and cook for 1–2 minutes more. Remove to a plate.

4. 4

   Add the remaining butter and the flaked almonds to the pan and toast for 1 minute until golden.

5. 5

   Squeeze in the lemon juice, swirl to combine, and pour over the trout. Serve with the green beans, scattered with chopped parsley.
