White fish has a reputation for being boring and bland, and sadly, it often is. After you make this recipe, though, you’ll never think of white fish the same way!
The fish in this dish is light and fresh, but overall the meal has plenty of depth and dimension thanks to the rest of the flavors paired with the trout!
Lemon and ghee meld together beautifully in this buttery, citrus-y sauce that “dresses up” the trout perfectly and tastes absolutely out-of-this-world!
The crispy skin and toasted almonds provide the perfect crunch to balance out the light flavors of the fish. Pair this dish with greens, asparagus, or any other vegetables you like for a complete meal! This Trout Almondine is simple, quick, packed with flavor, and sure to impress anyone. If you’re looking for a recipe that’s gluten-free, paleo, or keto-friendly to make for dinner tonight, look no further!
Paleo Trout Almondine
Serves: 4
Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 rainbow trout fillets, skin-on
- 1/4 cup ghee
- ½ cup slivered raw almonds
- Juice from 2 lemons
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- Sea salt
Instructions:
- Place the ghee in a pan over medium heat until browned (around 2 minutes), reserving some ghee to sear the fish. Turn off the heat and whisk the browned ghee with the lemon juice. Set aside.
- Salt both sides of the trout. Saute the trout in about 1 tbsp ghee until translucent on both sides. Cook the flesh side first and skin side second, about 2 minutes per side until cooked through (it should be white when fully cooked). Set cooked fish aside.
- Add the lemon ghee to the pan over medium heat, and add almonds to pan until browned (around 3-5 minutes).
- Serve sauce and almonds over the fish with minced parsley on top. Enjoy!

I spent years of my life struggling with acne, and most of those years I dealt with painful, cystic acne. I tried every product under the sun (and even prescription medications), but it wasn’t until I changed my diet and lifestyle that I really saw major improvement in my skin, and I learned that working from the inside out is the best way to eliminate acne for good.
In this post I’m going to share the nutrition and supplement recommendations I suggest to anyone trying to get rid of their acne longterm. These are not quick, overnight fixes. Again, to truly get rid of acne, you have to address the root cause and make lifelong changes rather than just manage the symptom. Supporting your gut health, supplementing any nutrient deficiencies, and avoiding dietary acne triggers are usually the key steps to clearing up the skin.

Booty bands are one of my favorite pieces of workout “equipment” because they can add a lot of resistance while still being lightweight, small, and easy to travel with. This workout focuses on your lower body, and it’s a great option if you’re looking for something low-impact or a workout to do while traveling.
Adjust the rep ranges to your fitness level, and make sure that you’re doing each rep with proper form. If your form breaks down, you’re doing too many reps! Make sure you warm up / prime your body before getting started.

Amino acid therapy is one of the most effective ways to address anxiety and depression if someone is looking for a natural alternative to antidepressants, which can have many side effects. It’s a part of being human to experience times of sadness or worry, but many people in today’s world experience those emotions not really because they need to feel them in reaction to what’s happening, but because there is a neurotransmitter excess / deficiency or some type of hormonal / chemical imbalance in the body. An example of this is when someone feels constant sadness or anxiety every day, even though nothing specific is triggering it.
