• Process almonds, parsley, shallots, and bread crumbs in a food processor. Stir in bread crumbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Rub mixture over trout fillets.
• Grill fillets, skin-side down, until trout flakes easily with a fork, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Garnish fillets with fresh dill before serving.

SPICED HERB & ALMOND COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Heat some oil in a roasting tray and then add the onions and fry for about 5 mins until just softened. While you're frying, add the saffron strands to the stock if using, so the flavour and colour infuses. (If you are making the Fragrant chicken too (see 'Goes well with') use the same pan to add flavour to this dish and leave the juices in there, but you can tip out some of the chicken fat if you like).
• Tip the chilli into the tray, fry for 1 min more, then take off the heat. Add the couscous and stock, then cover with cling film for 10 mins. Once the couscous has absorbed all the stock, quickly chop the coriander (if you chop it too soon it will start to wilt), then fork it through the couscous with the almonds, dates and lemon juice and serve straight away. To serve cold, leave to cool, then add the chopped coriander just before eating.

PANFRIED TROUT WITH ALMONDS AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Place over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the trout with the salt, and season with pepper; gently place 2 fillets in skillet, skin sides up. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until undersides are golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip fish, using two spatulas if necessary. Cook until fish is slightly flaky in center when poked with a fork, about 2 minutes more. Transfer fish to a platter; keep warm. Wipe out skillet, and repeat with remaining 2 fillets.
• Wipe out skillet; add oil and almonds. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until almonds start to turn golden, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and immediately add parsley and lemon zest; stir to combine. Stir in lemon juice; as soon as it starts to bubble, pour sauce over fish. Serve immediately.
