Ingredients

4 (4 oz.) trout fillets n 1 lemon

1/2 c. flour n 1/2 stick butter

Salt and pepper n 1/2 c. slivered almonds

2 Tbsp. chopped parsley n 1/4 c. white wine

How to:

Sprinkle the trout with sale and pepper to taste. Squeeze the lemon over both sides of the fillets and coat the fillets with flour.

Melt the butter at medium/high heat in a large, non-stick pan. Add the fillets and cook for two or three minutes until lightly browned (lift edge with spatula to peek). Turn and cook another couple of minutes. Remove the fillets to paper towels.

Brown the almonds, add the chopped parsley and stir. Add the wine and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Turn off the heat and return the fillets to the pan and hold until ready to serve.

Transfer the fillets to a platter and pour the sauce and almonds over the fillets.
