- Place oven on low and rest a platter on an oven rack.

The asparagus will steam while the potatoes cook. Do this the last 5 or 6 minutes that the potatoes are cooking.

Leave asparagus covered and set aside. Dress potatoes with chives, a drizzle of olive oil and a little salt. Leave in warm pot until trout is on the table, then transfer to a serving bowl.
- Heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Combine egg and milk in a tin pie plate, beat with a fork. Place a cup of flour in a second pie tin and season well with salt and sparingly with pepper. Coat trout fillets in egg and milk, then in seasoned flour. Collect fillets on a plate until all of them are dredged and ready to be cooked.
- Add 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to your skillet, half a turn of the pan in a slow stream. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons butter to the pan. When the butter foams, add trout and gently saute 4 fillets for 2 or 3 minutes on each side, until golden. Transfer trout fillets to warm platter in oven.
- Return pan to the stove and add 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin oil and 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. When butter foams, repeat cooking process. When all of the trout is cooked, add last tablespoon of butter to the pan. When the butter melts, add almonds and brown until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

WHOLE TROUT AMANDINE
Most trout amandine recipes call for use of fillets and frying with a breading. I think these techniques mask the real flavor of fresh water trout. I prefer to broil the fish and deboning a cooked trout is quite easy and gives the chief a chance to show off. To debone a cooked trout use 2 tablespoons, first using a spoon remove the head & tail of the fish. Then make sure all the skin is cut. Using the spoons with the rounded side to the meat, carefully open the fish in butterfly style. Take the bones from the tail side and with a flourish remove all the bones at once.

TROUT MEUNIERE AMANDINE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 F. Place almonds on a baking sheet and toast in oven for 15 to 20 minutes, opening oven to stir almonds every 5 minutes while they cook. When they become a light golden brown, remove from oven and set aside. Make a wash by whisking together eggs and milk in shallow bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Season fillets with salt and pepper, to taste, and dust with flour. Submerge floured fillets in egg wash. Gently remove fillets from egg wash and allow excess to drip off. Put fillets back into flour, and then gently shake off excess flour. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil to 350 F. Test readiness of oil by sprinkling a pinch of flour over it. Flour will brown instantly when oil has reached correct temperature. Add trout and fry for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove fish when crust is golden brown. Top each fillet with almonds and warmed meuniere sauce (recipe below). Garnish with lemon wedges. Sauce: In medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, whisking constantly, for 8 to 10 minutes, until sediment in butter turns dark brown, almost (but not quite) to the point of burning, and liquid is deep golden color. Remove pan from heat and continue to whisk slowly, adding lemon juice and vinegar to browned butter. Sauce will froth until acids have evaporated. When frothing subsides, sauce is complete.
TROUT AMANDINE
Steps:
- Bone trout, if desired. Season with salt and pepper in bowl, combine egg and light cream or milk. Dip the trout in flour, then in the egg cream mixture and again in the flour. In large skillet, heat together oil and 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, fry trout in hot oil 5 to 6 minutes on each side ot till golden and fish flakes easily when tested with fork. In a skillet cook almonds in the 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine till almonds are golden. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Pour trout on a warm serving platter. Pour almond mixture over trout and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest trout possible. Fresh trout will have bright, clear eyes, red or pink gills, and a firm, springy body.
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your trout amandine will taste.
- Don't overcook the trout. Trout is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently and quickly. Overcooked trout will be dry and tough.
- Use a well-seasoned pan. A well-seasoned pan will help prevent the trout from sticking and will also add flavor to the dish.
- Serve the trout amandine immediately. Trout amandine is best served hot, so make sure to serve it as soon as it's cooked.
