Instructions
1
Prep
Pat the trout fillet dry with paper towels, season both sides with salt and pepper, then dredge in cornstarch on a plate, shaking off excess.
2
Fry
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, lay the trout skin-side down, and fry for 3 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp. Flip and fry the other side for 2 minutes until flesh flakes easily.
3
Toast
Wipe the skillet clean, add the butter over medium heat, and swirl for 2 minutes until it foams and turns amber with a nutty aroma. Add the almonds and toast for 1 minute until pale gold.
4
Plate
Set the trout fillet on a plate, spoon the brown butter and almonds over the top, scatter the chopped parsley over it, and arrange the steamed green beans alongside.
