Let's Get Started

  4. Transfer the trout to a plate and keep warm.
  5. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the almonds and cook over medium heat until the almonds are golden, about 2 minutes.
  6. Off the heat, stir in the lemon juice and parsley.
  7. Spoon the almond mixture over the trout and serve immediately.
