Ingredients

Olive oil, for brushing

1 cup Chopped blanched almonds

⅔ cup Plain yogurt

2 lemons Fresh lemon juice, strained

1 pinch Ground cumin

2 Whole salmon trout, cleaned and gutted

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup Chopped blanched almonds for sauce

1 cup Dry white wine

⅔ cup Whole-milk plain yogurt for sauce

½ Green bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of chopped blanched almonds with 2/3 cup plain yogurt, the juice of 2 lemons, and a pinch of ground cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined to create the stuffing.
Pat the cleaned salmon trout dry with paper towels. Season the interior cavity and exterior of each fish lightly with salt and pepper.
Divide the almond-yogurt stuffing evenly between the two salmon trout, carefully filling each cavity. Use about half the mixture for each fish.
Lightly brush the exterior of each stuffed fish with olive oil on all sides.
Place the stuffed salmon trout on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) at the thickest part of the flesh.
While the fish bakes, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of chopped blanched almonds with 1 cup of white wine. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the sauce from heat and stir in 2/3 cup of whole-milk plain yogurt until smooth. Add the green bell pepper strips and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm on very low heat, stirring gently.
Remove the baked salmon trout from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before plating.
Serve each stuffed salmon trout with a portion of the almond and white wine sauce spooned alongside or drizzled over the top. Arrange green pepper strips from the sauce as garnish.

Salmon trout is reliably available at Harris Teeter and Publix seafood counters for around $12–15 per pound, but the 118-minute stated time ignores 20+ minutes of filleting and butterflying a whole fish—expect two hours total. The ingredient list is straightforward and available at any Charlotte chain, making this a reasonable special-occasion weeknight dish. This is a hands-on preparation that demands attention at the stovetop and reheats poorly; plan to serve it fresh the same night for a family of four, and budget for the live-fish shopping experience if you want the best flavor from trout at its peak.
