FISH ALMONDINE
From when I was expecting my first baby, Alex, to well past the birth of my second child, Paige, I used to meet my grandmother, Ga-Ga, at Luby's Cafeteria in my hometown for lunch on an almost monthly basis. Luby's had a mega-long (it seemed like a football field, but probably wasn't quite) serving line of prefilled small plates holding such comfort foods as Jell-O salad, macaroni and cheese, Salisbury steak, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and slices of pie as far as the eye could see. But for me, the single most memorable dish at Luby's was their gloriously consistent Fish Almondine. No matter which seventeen sides I selected (okay, sometimes it was eighteen), Fish Almondine was always the main course for me. This is my best attempt to re-create the Luby's magic. (I love and miss you, Ga-Ga.)

TROUT WITH ALMOND-PARSLEY BUTTER
For nights when you want to keep the stovetop free of smoke and oil splatter, the broiler is a great alternative. This quick weeknight trout recipe lets you enjoy all the crispness, even cooking, and flavorful browning of seared fish without having to get out a skillet. Garlicky sautéed spinach and a zesty almond-parsley compound butter compliment the mild-tasting trout perfectly.

Steps:
- Cook oil and garlic in a large pot over medium heat until garlic begins to sizzle, about 1 minute. Add spinach, season with salt, cover, and cook, stirring once, until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Drain excess liquid and set aside. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons butter, almonds, lemon zest, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Set broiler to high, with a rack in top position. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter and brush onto flesh sides of fish. Season with salt and pepper. Lightly dust buttered sides of fish with flour, tapping off excess.
- Brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil; arrange fish flesh-side up and broil until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Using two spatulas, transfer to plates. Dollop with almond butter and serve with spinach and lemon wedges.
FISH WITH TOASTED ALMONDS
This is an easy dish that you can put on the table when you have friends coming around after a long day's work. The soft-fleshed cod (or any other meaty white fish) is offset by the crunchy almonds. Serve alongside a pile of fresh green beans, cooked until just tender, but still bright.

Steps:
- Place a large dry nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add almonds. Stir constantly until they are tinged with color. Take from heat, and transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Season both sides of the fish well with salt and pepper. Place the same pan over medium heat, and add butter and olive oil. When both begin to bubble, add cod fillets skin side up. Brown fish until opaque all the way through, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Transfer fish to a warm serving plate, skin side down.
- Reduce heat under pan to low, and add lemon juice. Stir to blend with butter and oil, then pour this sauce over fillets. Scatter parsley over cod, and scatter with toasted almonds. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Mix crushed stuffing, ground almonds, spices, herbs and salt in a bowl. Roll trout fillets in flour. Coat floured trout fillets in mayonnaise and then roll them in the herbed bread-almond mixture. Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook trout, turning once, until both sides are golden brown and fish flakes tenderly, about 5 minutes per side. Mmmmmm!
Tips:

- If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor.

- Serve the trout fillets with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
