Almond and Saffron Trout

If you like rainbow trout, you will love this sunny yellow version! A classic meal traditionally served on Fridays and Sundays, trout is one of our local European freshwater fish and its delicate and subtly aromatic flesh is perfect for a wide range of dishes. This recipe featuring flavoursome saffron, sweet almonds and tangy lemon is a colourful new take on the classic way of preparing this delicious fish. Even pouring the melted butter, coloured brightly yellow by threads of saffron, over the rainbow trouts is a delightfully fragrant experience.

Preperation

Clean the fish, dab them dry and cut them open along the stomach. Remove the spine and the fine bones from the filets and trim the fins using kitchen scissors.

Lightly cover the whole fish in flour and fry in a large pan in some melted butter, over a medium heat (approximately 4 minutes on each side).

Place the fish on preheated plates, cover with tin foil and set aside.

Cook snow peas until firm to the bite. Prepare the rice.

Now put 2 tablespoons of butter in the pan, heat and roast the flaked almonds in the butter until they have gained some colour.

Add the lemon juice, saffron threads, finely chopped parsley, salt and pepper and heat while stirring.

Put the fish on two plates, pour over the sauce and serve with slices of lemon and lime.
