Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the pignoli sauce

    In a pan over medium heat, toast the pignoli nuts until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Blend the sauce

    In a food processor, combine the toasted pignoli nuts, garlic, parsley, and lemon juice. Pulse until finely chopped. While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in olive oil until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Grill the trout

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the trout fillets with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once the trout is cooked, transfer to plates and drizzle generously with the pignoli sauce. Serve immediately.
