    Method

    • Step-by-step Method for Trout Amandine with Rice
    • Rinse 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice under cold water until water runs clear
    • In a saucepan, combine rice with 2 cups chicken broth and a pinch of salt
    • Bring rice mixture to a boil over medium-high heat
    • Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender (about 15-18 minutes)
    • While rice cooks, pat 4 trout fillets dry with paper towels, season both sides with salt and pepper
    • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat
    • Add trout fillets, skin-side down if skin-on, and cook 3-4 minutes per side until golden and opaque throughout
    • Remove cooked trout from skillet, keep warm on a plate, loosely tented with foil
    • Wipe out skillet, add 2 tablespoons slivered almonds, and toast over medium heat, stirring until golden and fragrant (1-2 minutes)
    • Remove almonds from skillet and set aside for garnish
    • Add 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to same skillet over medium heat
    • Swirl skillet until butter is melted and lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes
    • Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, warming gently
    • Spoon the warm almond-butter sauce over the reserved trout fillets on serving plates
    • Fluff the cooked rice with a fork, then gently mix in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    • Divide the herbed rice among four plates
    • Top each portion with a trout fillet and drizzle with additional sauce from the skillet
    • Sprinkle toasted almonds over each trout fillet
    • Garnish with extra parsley if desired
    • Serve immediately, optionally with lemon wedges for a finishing touch
