This quick weeknight trout recipe lets you enjoy all the crispness, even cooking, and flavorful browning of seared fish without having to get out a skillet. Garlicky sautéed spinach and a zesty almond-parsley compound butter compliment the mild-tasting trout perfectly. Ingredients 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced 1 pound spinach, trimmed and well washed, water still clinging to leaves Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened ¼ cup sliced almonds, toasted and chopped ½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus wedges for serving 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves 4 skin-on trout fillets (about 1 ¾ pounds total) 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour Directions Cook oil and garlic in a large pot over medium heat until garlic begins to sizzle, about 1 minute. Add spinach, season with salt, cover, and cook, stirring once, until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Drain excess liquid and set aside. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons butter, almonds, lemon zest, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Set broiler to high, with a rack in top position. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter and brush onto flesh sides of fish. Season with salt and pepper. Lightly dust buttered sides of fish with flour, tapping off excess. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil; arrange fish flesh-side up and broil until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Using two spatulas, transfer to plates. Dollop with almond butter and serve with spinach and lemon wedges. Print
