- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions:
-
Prepare the trout:
- Rinse the trout fillets under cold water, and pat dry with a paper towel. If desired, you can remove the skin for a more refined dish.
- Stuff each trout fillet with a slice of ham and use a toothpick to secure the opening.
-
Fry the trout:
- In a skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat.
- Fry the stuffed trout for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the trout to a baking dish and set aside.
-
Make the sauce:
- In your Thermomix bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the olive oil used for frying (about 1/8 cup of liquid) with heavy cream, flour, and lemon juice.
- Secure the lid and place the simmering basket on top. Set the Thermomix to 100ºF at speed 1 for 10 minutes.
-
Finish the sauce:
- After 10 minutes, remove the lid and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Blend again at the same speed for an additional 5 minutes to ensure a smooth consistency.

- Serve and enjoy:
