Ingredients
Method
In small skillet, cook butter over medium heat until light brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Set aside.Cut four 14- x 10-inch (35 x 25 cm) rectangles of parchment paper. Fold each in half crosswise. Trim corners to make folded half-heart shape. Unfold to make 4 large paper hearts.
Cut trout fillets in half crosswise. Place each half on centre of 1 half of each paper heart. Sprinkle each with pinch each salt and pepper; top each with lemon slice. Top with broccoli and shallot; drizzle each with 1 tbsp browned butter. Fold paper over. Starting at rounded end, fold over edge, overlapping and pleating to enclose. Twist pointed end to secure.
Bake packets on large rimmed baking sheet in 400ºF (200ºC) oven for 11 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand for 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested.
Meanwhile, spread almonds on baking sheet and bake until golden, about 5 minutes.
To serve, cut or tear open packet, being careful to avoid steam. Sprinkle with toasted almonds.
