Combine spices and flour in a gallon-size zip-top bag. Soak cranberries in 1 cup of water for 5 minutes to soften. Place trout in bag with flour and toss to coat. Heat oil in pan to sizzling and fry trout until flesh is flaky (3 to 6 minutes per side depending on size of fish). Simultaneously, make sauce: Add onions to pan and sauté 30 seconds. Add almonds, cranberries, and their water (and butter, if using), and stir to combine. Pour sauce over cooked trout. Serves 2. |
