Pat trout fillets dry. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat butter and a little olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook trout skin-side down for 4 minutes until skin is crispy.
Flip carefully and cook 3 more minutes until flesh is opaque.
Remove trout and add sliced almonds to the pan. Toast 1-2 minutes until golden.
Squeeze lemon juice into the pan with the almonds to make a sauce.
Plate trout and spoon almond-butter sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
B12 absorption requires stomach acid + intrinsic factor; taking with a meal stimulates both. Plant-heavy meals also under-supply B12, making supplementation more impactful.
Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) is fat-soluble. This meal's fat content significantly improves absorption.
If the meal's omega-3 sources are plant-based (ALA from walnuts, flax), supplementing EPA/DHA captures the marine forms your body uses directly — ALA conversion is poor (~5%).
