Ingredients

• 4 pieces Washington trout fillets
• 0.5 cups Macadamia nuts, finely chopped
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Washington trout fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to evenly season the flour.

Step 3

Dredge each trout fillet in the seasoned flour, ensuring an even, light coating on both sides. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and begins to foam, add the trout fillets, skin-side down, to the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the trout fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

Step 6

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt, then stir in the finely chopped macadamia nuts.

Step 7

Toast the macadamia nuts in the butter, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes or until they become golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

Step 8

Spoon the toasted macadamia nut mixture over the cooked trout fillets evenly.

Step 9

Garnish the fillets with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
