4 cleaned trout, about 1/2 lb. each
Salt & white pepper
Flour
1/4 c. butter
2 tbsp. peanut oil or salad oil

Wipe fish lightly with damp paper towel. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Coat trout lightly with flour, shaking off excess.

Meanwhile, saute almonds in remaining 2 tablespoons butter, heated in a small frying pan, until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in lemon juice. Sprinkle almonds lightly with salt and keep mixture warm.

Arrange cooked trout in a warm serving dish. Spoon almond butter over them. 4 servings.
