Trout Amandine with Brown Butter and Haricots Verts - Low Carbs
The French Inspired Trout Amandine with Brown Butter and Haricots Verts combines the delicate flavors of trout with the nutty richness of almonds and brown butter, creating a dish that is both elegant and delicious. The addition of sautéed haricots verts provides a fresh and vibrant contrast to the rich flavors of the trout and almond topping.
Steam the haricots verts until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the trout fillets with salt and pepper, and place them skin-side up in the skillet.
Sear the trout for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the trout is cooked through.
While the trout is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until it turns a light brown color, then add the sliced almonds and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley into the brown butter.
In another pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add the steamed haricots verts, season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Plate the trout fillets, spoon the brown butter and almond mixture over the top, and serve with the sautéed haricots verts on the side.
