Lovely! I'm becoming a big fan of trout. SEANZILLA: 'Amandine' is right it means "garnished with almonds." Almondine isn't a word in the dictionary.
After reading the reviews I was wondering how such a simple recipe could rate so many 5 star reviews. I guess sometimes simplicity is best because this is truly wonderful. I cooked 2 large fillets (and used less than half the butter) and very lightly floured them. DH isn't a big fish eater unless he orders it in a restaurant where it comes covered with a rich sauce but he told me 3 times during dinner how much he liked this. Thanks for the wonderful Trout Amandine recipe.
This deserves more than 5 stars it was the BEST fish I have ever had! I normally don't even like fish but my husband brought home some trout so I got this recipe for him to use and I could not believe how good this was!! We are having it again this week - Thank you so much for this recipe it has made a fish lover out of me!!
amandine The French term meaning "garnished with almonds." It's often misspelled "almondine."
Who cares what she calls it. It is her recipe. What matters is that it taste awsome.
It's "Almondine" not "amandine". Hence the almonds....
Hubby brought home fresh trout and this is an excellent and simple recipe. I use clarified butter whenever possible and it works great in this recipe. I also used sliced almonds and they were wonderful in this dish. Note to seanzilla: a man dine: Prepared or garnished with almonds: swordfish amandine.
This recipe was a snap to prepare and it came out very good. In my opinion fish recipes are best when kept simple and this was just about as simple as it gets!
Just made this recipe tonight - didn't think much of it while making it but surprisingly good tasting - my husband loved it - this recipe is a keeper. I still wonder what 'sauce' you mean to add to trout? Some changes I made: I added all the lemon juice (and more) to almonds and butter before topping the trout. Also had to bake in oven for an extra 15 min - didn't seem to cook well stovetop. Couldn't reasonably eat this every week too much butter - wow!
