Ingredients

Serves

The quantities follow this count.

2 whole trout, cleaned
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 tbsp butter
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1 lemon
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

How to cook it

Pat the trout dry, season inside and out with the salt and pepper, and dust lightly with the flour, shaking off the excess.
Melt half the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the trout for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until the skin is golden and the flesh flakes easily, then transfer to plates.
Wipe the skillet, melt the remaining butter, and add the sliced almonds, stirring constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden.
Squeeze in the juice of the lemon and swirl the pan so the butter foams and the almonds pick up a little color, about 30 seconds.
Spoon the brown butter and almonds over the trout, scatter the parsley on top, and serve at once; the other classic French fish supper, a whole small fish rather than a fillet steamed in paper or breaded and fried.
