Steps:

• Place oven on low and rest a platter on an oven rack.
• Add potatoes to a deep pot of boiling water; just enough to cover potatoes. Salt water and add potato halves. The potatoes will cook for about 12 minutes for fork tender.
• Hold asparagus spears at each end. Snap asparagus tips from tough ends by bending spears. Place spears in a colander. Rest colander on top of the potato pot and place a cover over the colander. The asparagus will steam while the potatoes cook. Do this the last 5 or 6 minutes that the potatoes are cooking.
• Potatoes will be just about done when the last of your trout is going into the skillet (method follows.) When the potatoes are tender, take a minute to drain them and return them to warm pot. 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.

• 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.
• Remove trout from oven and pour almonds over the platter. Garnish platter with chopped parsley, lemon wedges, steamed asparagus spears, and potatoes.

Steps:

• Drizzle 2 sheets of foil with olive oil; sprinkle each with 1/4 cup sliced almonds and 3/4 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds. Brush four 6-ounce trout fillets with more olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place each fillet, skin-side down, on top of the nuts. Top with a few orange slices (leave the peel on), then add another fillet, skin-side up, to form a trout sandwich. Sprinkle with more almonds and coriander seeds. Fold up the foil sheets and grill over high heat until the fish is just cooked through and the almonds are toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully loosen the almond crust from the bottom of the foil with a spatula.

Steps:

• Combine the Worcestershire, onions, bay leaves, and lemons in a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat. Mash the lemons down with the back of a spoon and bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer until it has reduced and becomes slightly thick, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cream and whisk to blend. Cook for 1 minute. Mount in the 1 stick of the butter, whisking constantly until it is completely melted and blended into the mixture. Strain through a sieve, set aside and keep warm. Season the trout and flour with Essence. Dredge the fish in the flour, coating each side completely. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add 1/4 cup of the oil. When the oil in hot, add the fillets. Pan-fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels. In another saute pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the shallots. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 1 minute. Add the garlic, potatoes, and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the (Meunire) sauce. Continue to saute for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. In another saute pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the almonds and saute for 2 minutes. Stir into the Meunire sauce. Remove from the heat and keep warm. To serve, spoon the potatoes in the center of each plate. Lay the fish directly on top of the potatoes. Spoon the sauce over the fish. Garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling. Brush the cut sides of the oranges and radicchio with some olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Put the oranges and radicchio cut-side down on the grill and cook just until charred and slightly softened. Transfer the radicchio to a platter.
• Squeeze the orange juice into a bowl and whisk in the almonds, vinegar, parsley, honey, mustard and salt and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving.
• Brush the trout fillets with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to the platter with the radicchio and immediately drizzle with the vinaigrette. Garnish with parsley leaves.

Steps:

• To pan-dress the trout:
• With scissors, cut away the dorsal fin along the back of each fish. Hold each pectoral fin (the one closest to the head) and cut away and discard the gill plate and pectoral fin. Turn the fish on its back and open it up. Starting at the head, cut away the belly flap on each side, along with the pelvic fin. Remove the tail by cutting across the fish about an inch from the bottom of the tail. Set aside.
• For the haricots verts:
• Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath. Blanch the haricots verts in the boiling water for 2 to 6 minutes, or until they are barely tender, with a slight bite still left to them. Drain the beans and transfer to the ice bath to chill quickly, then drain again and dry on paper towels.
• To complete:
• Lightly sprinkle both sides of each trout with salt and pepper. If you have them, heat two 12-inch nonstick pans (special oval pans work best for fish) over medium-high heat. If you have only one pan, cook two trout first, cover, and keep them in a warm place while you cook the final two. Coat each pan with a light film of canola oil. Add the trout skin side down and sauté for about 4 minutes on one side only. The fish may still look undercooked at the top of the flesh, but the hot ingredients that will top them will complete the cooking.
• Meanwhile, put the beans in a sauté pan, add 2 tablespoons of the butter and 1/3 cup water, and place over medium heat. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the water has evaporated and the beans are hot and glazed with butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and keep warm.
• When the fish are done, cut off the heads and discard, if desired, and place the fish on serving plates. Drain the oil from one of the pans and return the pan to the heat. Add the remaining 8 tablespoons butter and a pinch of salt to the hot pan. When the butter begins to brown, add the almonds, shaking the pan to brown them evenly. When they are a rich golden brown, add the parsley and lemon juice.
• Meanwhile, cover each trout with one-quarter of the beans.
• Spoon the foaming butter and almonds over the haricots verts and around the edges of the plates.

Steps:

• Stir together the milk, 1 teaspoon of salt and shakes of tabasco sauce in a 13x9 pan. Wash and dry trout slices. Add to pan, turning to coat, and immersing as well as possible. Cover with plastic film and chill 2-3 hours.
• Remove trout fillets from milk, put them on a plate, do not dry them, discard milk mixture.
• Spread flour on another plate, season with pepper.
• Melt 1/4 cup butter with oil in a heavy skillet.
• While butter melts, dredge each trout fillet in flour, lightly shaking off excess. When butter is hot, add as many trout fillets as will fit without crowding. Cook about 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Transfer to a sheet pan. Repeat until all of trout has been cooked, if more butter is needed, have more ready, but not from the specified reserved amount.
• When all of the fish has been cooked, put it on the sheet, cover loosely with foil, and put into a 175 degree oven to keep warm.
• Put the cup of butter and the almonds into a saucepan with the remaining teaspoon salt. Cook moderately until lightly browned. Stir in the lemon juice and Worchestershire sauce. Cook two minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Serve over fillets with lemon wedges on warm plates.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Tip the pepper, tomatoes, garlic, oil and vinegar into a roasting tin, then toss them together. Roast for 20 mins, then make a space in the roasting tin for the trout fillets, scattering with the almonds and a little salt and pepper.
• Return to the oven for a further 10-15 mins, until the fish is cooked and the almonds lightly toasted. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over and a rocket salad on the side.

Steps:

• Lightly toast the almonds in a saute pan. Reserve. Combine the flour, salt, and cayenne pepper in a small, flat dish. Pour the milk into another one. Place the trout fillets in the milk.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter. Dredge the fillets in the flour mixture on both sides. Add to the pan and increase heat. Put the garlic cloves in the pan and swirl it around.
• Turn the trout after 2 minutes and remove the garlic (you don't want it to brown). Cook until the fish is cooked through and lightly golden brown, about 1 or 2 more minutes. Scatter the almonds over top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the panko and almonds. Drizzle in the melted butter and toss until well combined.
• Add the parsley and toss it in . . .
• Then stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Put the flour in a shallow dish and add a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Dredge both sides of the fish in the flour, shaking off any excess.
• Spread a generous tablespoon of mayonnaise over each piece of fish . . .
• And sprinkle the crumb mixture on top, pressing lightly to make sure it sticks.
• Bake until the crumbs are golden and the fish is flaky, 16 to 18 minutes. Squeeze the lemon juice on top and serve.

Steps:

• line the grill pan with foil. Brush both trout with melted butter and grill both sides on a medium heat until the skin is CRISPY. Put fresh dill and toasted almond slices in the centre of the trout.
• Layer ONE side of the the trout with toasted almonds (this can be done easily by layering them on a flat tray under the grill until crisp, light brown and firm) to look like "scales"-place on 2 plates to rest.
• Boil a small tub of single cream with a table of lemon,salt and pepper to taste and a small pinch of sugar. Stir VIGOROUSLY constantly! Add a tsp of ground almonds, finely chopped dill, toasted almond flakes, salt and pepper to taste. Lay ON the plate with a serving spoon, lay the trout on top and then drizzle some more on the almond coated side of your trout. Serve IMMEDIATELY.
