Truite Amandine or Trout Fillets with Almonds is a fairly regular dish in our house. It’s easy to make, light fare, looks and tastes great and lends itself as everyday dinner as well as for entertaining.

I typically use whole almonds and slice them myself. I like having a bit of skin on the almonds for colour as opposed to using store bought ones that are just plain white.

The recipe below is for 2-3 people, depending on the size of the fillet. Use 2 fillets if you are feeding more or if the fillets are small, use one per person.

Make sure you serve a nice glass of white to go with that. I might suggest a Riesling of Cabinet quality.

Ingredients

1 large trout fillet, 250 g (8 oz), skin on

1 sprig of fresh dill or 1/2 tsp of dried (parsely or thyme make suitable substitutes), finely chopped
1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
1 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste
