Although this elegant entrée comes from the classic realm of French chefs, it is easy and fast to prepare.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup  (50 mL)  butter
  • 2/3 cups  (150 mL)  sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup  (50 mL)  thinly sliced  green onions
  • 3 lbs  (1.5 kg)  trout, salmon-trout or arctic-char fillets
  • 1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  each salt and pepper
  • 3 tbsp  (45 mL)  lemon juice or lime juice
  • Lemon wedges

Preparation

Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Cook until butter no longer sizzles and is browned. Stir in almonds and green onions. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until golden. Remove nuts and onions from butter using a slotted spoon; reserve.

Sprinkle fish evenly with salt and pepper. Place fillets, skin side up, in hot pan. Cook for 5 minutes or until edges start to curl and bottom is golden. Turn and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily.

Repeat until all fillets are cooked. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Arrange on a serving platter. Return almonds and green onions to pan. Reheat, stirring, for 30 seconds. Pour pan juices, almonds and green onions evenly over fish. Serve with lemon wedges.

Makes 8 servings.

Fast & Easy: 30 minutes or less (prep and cooking time).
