Excellent! We had fresh-caught lake trout fillets and were looking for a recipe that would keep the fresh flavor. Tried this recipe and I must say that it was the best trout I ever ate! Easy to prepare--only wish I had cooked more!

Loved the crunch of the almonds with the tender fish. And the lemon pairs well. Thanks (but I did add a little more butter and lemon for more sauce)

This was very good, simple and fresh tasting. It brought out the delicate taste of the trout, rather than overpower it. I cooked the fillets just on the flesh side, and they were nicely browned. Thank you for a delicious recipe.
