Trout Almondine, a classic French dish, is a delightful combination of pan-fried trout fillets coated in a flavorful mixture of toasted almonds, butter, and parsley. The result is a crispy, golden-brown exterior and a tender, flaky interior, perfectly complemented by the nutty aroma and crunch of the almonds. This elegant dish is often served with a simple lemon wedge to enhance its delicate flavors.
In addition to the classic Trout Almondine, this article offers two variations to cater to diverse tastes and preferences. The Trout Meunière recipe introduces a rich and flavorful sauce made with butter, lemon juice, and capers, adding a tangy and savory touch to the fish. For those seeking a lighter option, the Trout Grenobloise recipe replaces the almonds with a combination of white wine, shallots, and fresh herbs, creating a delicate and aromatic sauce that complements the trout's delicate flavor.

TROUT ALMONDINE, HIGH DESERT STYLE
I call this dish 'high-desert trout,' as it has become a mainstay in my culinary arsenal inspired by a brunch stop at a beatnik bungalow in the middle of nowhere set in the pristine high desert of 29 Palms, California, known as the 29 Palms Oasis Inn. A fan favorite with friends and family over the years and it gives me a good excuse to go trout fishing! The tomato and caper saute provides a palate-pleasing twist on the traditional trout almondine.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread almonds onto a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven until almonds start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Place trout on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the fillet like an open book. Dredge trout lightly in flour. Repeat with remaining fillets.
- Melt 1/2 cup butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place trout skin-side down on the hot skillet and cook until bottom is firm and lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn over and cook until trout flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter and remaining olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute tomato and capers until juices are released, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Place each trout fillet skin-side down on a plate and top with the roasted almonds and tomato-caper saute.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm trout fillets. Look for fillets that are bright pink or orange in color, with no brown spots. The flesh should be firm to the touch and not mushy.
- Season the trout fillets generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Use a nonstick skillet or sauté pan to cook the trout fillets. This will help to prevent them from sticking and breaking apart.
- Cook the trout fillets over medium heat until they are opaque and cooked through. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve the trout fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides include steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or rice.
