The story

About the dish

Trout responds well to gentle heat. Davanti cooks the fillet in a pan so the fish stays delicate, then adds thin almond slices for a toasted aroma and light crunch.

Saffron risotto completes the plate with a golden color, warm floral aroma, and mellow earthiness. Its tender rice offers a soft counterpoint to the toasted almonds while allowing the trout’s clean flavor to remain at the center.

Freshwater fish belong deeply to the table culture around Lombardy’s lakes and rivers. inLombardia lists trout among the familiar fish of its regional menus, alongside traditions that change from lake to lake. Pairing the fish with rice also recalls northern Italy, where risotto has long held an important place at the table.

Contains fish and tree nuts in the documented preparation.
