4. Rinse trout and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper, then coat in flour. Place fish in skillet.

5. Cook 4 minutes or until golden and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning halfway through cooking time. Return apple to skillet. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.

6. Melt remaining 2 Tblsp. butter in small saucepan over low heat. Stir in lemon juice, chives, and hazelnuts. To serve, sprinkle fish and apple with hazelnut mixture. Garnish with lemon slices and chives.
