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 trout fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a vibrant color. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have an off odor.
- Pat the trout fillets dry: Before cooking, pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels. This will help to prevent the fillets from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a crispy skin.
- Season the trout fillets: Season the trout fillets with salt and pepper, or your favorite seasonings. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil.
- Cook the trout fillets over medium heat: Cook the trout fillets over medium heat in a nonstick skillet. This will help to prevent the fillets from overcooking and will also help to create a crispy skin.
- Flip the trout fillets once: Flip the trout fillets once during cooking. This will help to ensure that the fillets are cooked evenly.
- Cook the trout fillets until they are opaque: Cook the trout fillets until they are opaque and flake easily with a fork. This will typically take about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Serve the trout fillets immediately: Serve the trout fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for trout fillets include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Trout almondine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The trout fillets are cooked in a creamy almond sauce that is full of flavor.
