Trout Amandine, Steamed Asparagus and New Potatoes

"I love when a recipe creates a full meal. This French-inspired meal comes from Rachael Ray. The fish servings are generous for 4 people. You may adjust the amount of trout fillets to your liking. Note: read the directions all the way through before cooking so you are prepared to cook the trout while the veggies are boiling and steaming. :)"

directions

  • Turn oven on a low setting (like 170 - 200 degrees F) and rest an oven-proof platter on the oven rack.
  • VEGGIES:

  • Get a deep pot of salted water to the boiling point and add the potatoes. Cook for about 12 minutes, or until fork tender .
  • Trim the tough ends off of the asparagus and put in a colander and rest the colander on top of the potato pot and cover. Do this the last 5 or 6 minutes that the potatoes are cooking, and the asparagus will steam at the same time.
  • The potatoes will be just about done when the last of your trout is going into the skillet (see below). When the potatoes are tender, take a minute to drain them and return them to the 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.
  • TROUT:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Combine egg and milk in a pie tin and beat with a fork. Place a cup of flour in a second pie tin and season well with salt and sparingly with pepper. Coat the trout fillets in egg and milk mixture, then in seasoned flour. Put fillets on a plate until all of them are dredged and ready to be cooked.
  • To the skillet add 1/2 T olive oil and 1 1/2 T butter. When butter foams, add trout and gently saute 4 fillets for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden. Transfer trout to the warm platter in the oven. Return the pan to the stove and add remaining oil and 1 1/2 T butter and saute rest of the trout. When all of the trout is cooked and added to the serving platter, add last T of butter to the pan. When the butter melts, add almonds and brown them until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove trout from oven and pour almonds over the platter. Garnsih with chopped parsley, lemon wedges and steamed asparagus spears. Serve the potatoes alongside.

  1. Wow LIG! This is a winner! I followed the recipe exactly except I used a bit more almonds...just love them. This turned out beautifully and the timing on the potatoes and asparagus was perfect. My potatoes were tiny, so I halved them instead of quartering. This is a keeper recipe! Thanks.

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
