TROUT AMANDINE-ANOTHER ALL TIME NEW ORLEANS FAVORITE.

Steps:

• Mix together the flour, salt, and paprika and coat the fillets on both sides with the mixture. Spread the olive oil over the bottom of a 17-by-11-inch baking pan and lay the fillets in it skin-side down. Pour 2 tablespoons of the butter over the fish. Position the dish about 4 inches from the heat source and broil until browned on the outside and opaque at the center, 4 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the almonds and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium nonstick skillet. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until browned, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the lemon juice, hot sauce, and parsley. Plate the fillets, and spoon some of the almond mixture over each.

Steps:

• To Make Creole Spice Mix: Mix together all spices in a bowl. Transfer the spices to a clean container with a tight-fitting lid. Store up to six months.
• To Make Trout Amandine: Pour the milk into a breading tray or wide dish. Put the flour and 1 tablespoon Creole Spices into another breading tray and stir to combine. Season the filets with salt and pepper, dip them into the milk and dredge in the seasoned flour.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fillets and cook on each side until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a serving platter.
• Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl the skillet over the heat so that the butter melts evenly and cook until the butter turns brownish, 3-4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the almonds, and cook, stirring gently, until the nuts are toasty brown, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice, parsley, and a dash of salt.
• Spoon the browned butter and almonds over the fish and serve.
