Herb-Roasted Trout with Buttery Almonds
Ingredients
3 lemons, thinly sliced, divided
1 (1/2-ounce) bunch fresh rosemary, divided (about
10 [5-inch] sprigs)
1 (1/2-ounce) bunch fresh thyme, divided (about 12
[5-inch] sprigs)
1 (1/2-ounce) bunch fresh oregano, divided (about
35 sprigs)
1 (1/2-ounce) bunch fresh sage, divided (about 8
[6-inch] sprigs)
4 (12-ounce) whole trout, cleaned
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 ¾ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 ½ teaspoons black pepper
¼ cup unsalted butter
½ cup sliced almonds (about 3 3/4 ounces)
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F. Spread half of lemon slices and half
of fresh herb sprigs on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Rub trout all over with 2 tablespoons oil; sprinkle inside and outside of trout
with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper. Stuff trout cavities evenly with
remaining lemon slices and remaining herb sprigs. Arrange trout on prepared
baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven until a thermometer inserted into
thickest portion of fish near the head registers 140°F, 16 to 20 minutes.
Transfer trout to a large serving platter.
Heat butter and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium
skillet over medium. Add sliced almonds, and cook, stirring often, until light
golden, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat (almonds will continue to brown), and
stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spoon almond mixture evenly over trout.
