Trout is one of the most flavoursome of all fish, and cooked this way it is superb. Remove all bones before cooking for bone free delight. The recipe could make a light meal for four or a yummy hors d’oeuvre for a dinner party.

Ingredients
4 trout (your friendly fishmonger will de-bone the fish)
4 oz butter
2 oz olive oil
Flour
Salt, pepper
A pinch of Mustard
½ cup Lime and Gin Marmalade
2 oz flaked almonds
2 tablespoon chopped parsley
Extra wedges of lime for garnish


Method
Coat fish well with seasoned flour. Brush off any excess flour. Heat the olive oil and 2 oz of butter in a large frying pan. Add fish, cook quickly on both sides until golden brown; approximately 4 minutes on each side (cooking time depends on thickness of fish). If not cooked through remove from pan and place fish on serving plate and put in a hot oven for five minutes or until cooked.

Add the remaining butter cook until golden, add lightly browned flaked almonds, salt and pepper if needed and sauté gently for a few minutes, add marmalade, mix well and pour over the fish. Serve with chunks of sour dough or brown granary bread.


ENJOY!
