Trout Almondine
Trout Almandine is a classic French-inspired dish that combines delicate, pan-seared trout with a rich, buttery almond sauce for a meal that feels both elegant and effortless. The golden, toasted almonds add a satisfying crunch, while the lemony brown butter sauce enhances the fish’s natural sweetness with a touch of nutty richness. Perfect for a special dinner or a quick yet sophisticated weeknight meal, this dish comes together in minutes but delivers restaurant-quality flavor.
