Trout Piccata (Gluten Free)

Steps

1. 1Dry the filets by blotting with paper towels, then season the flesh side with the salt and pepper.
2. 2Place the almond flour in a pie plate and dredge filets on both sides, shaking off any excess. Place on a wire cooling rack and rest for 10 minutes. When the 10 minutes are up, dredge the fish again and return to the rack.
3. 3Park a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and swirl the pan to evenly coat.
4. 4Hold the end of the filet(s) with skin facing you and carefully lay it flesh-first into the butter, making sure to lay it away from you so that the filet blocks any splattering butter. Give the pan a few jiggles to ensure the fish doesn't stick. Cook for 2 minutes, gently shaking the pan every now and then, until a golden crust forms.
5. 5Carefully flip the filets away from you with a fish turner or any flexible slotted spatula, and give the pan another jiggle. Continue to cook until the skin is browned and crisp, about 2 minutes more. Remove to a plate.
6. 6Remove the pan from the heat and carefully wipe out and discard any blackened bits of almond flour left behind. Return the pan to the burner and add another tablespoon of the butter along with the capers. Shake the pan constantly until the capers begin to brown, 1 minute.
7. 7Carefully add the wine. (If the pan is really hot and you're cooking on gas, this is a potential flambe moment!) Follow with the lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of the parsley. Return the heat to medium-high and simmer 2 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
8. 8Add the final tablespoon of butter and whisk until emulsified into the sauce. Kill the heat and immediately spoon over the fish.
9. 9Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.
