Pan-Fried Trout with Almond Crust
Pan-fried trout with almond crust is a quick and easy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner.

The result is a moist and flaky fish with a crispy and flavorful crust.
Trout is a type of freshwater fish that is found in North America, Europe, and Asia. It is a popular fish for eating, and it can be cooked in a variety of ways. One popular way to cook trout is to pan-fry it. Pan-frying trout is a quick and easy way to cook the fish, and it results in a moist and flaky fish with a crispy skin. There are many different ways to pan-fry trout. One popular way is to coat the trout in a breadcrumb mixture before pan-frying it. However, I prefer to use an almond flour mixture instead of breadcrumbs. Almond flour is a good source of protein and fiber, and it gives the trout a nutty flavor. Parmesan cheese and chopped almonds add even more flavor to the crust. The key to pan-frying trout is to cook it over medium heat. This will help to prevent the trout from overcooking and drying out. It is also important to pay attention to the trout while it is cooking, and to flip it over once it is golden brown on one side.
