Fishing in the grass
When I was little, back in the day before TSA and airport security, my parents would pop me on a plane by myself to see my Maw-maw and Paw-paw, in Norcross, GA. ย I loved my grandparents very much, but there wasn't much to do. ย Aside from getting the mail out of the mailbox, bible summer school, and running back and forth across the lawn.ย Oh yeah, one year I did get to play with yarn.ย Needless to say, casting a fishing line into a bucket created a thrilling diversion. ย ย I spent a lot of time trying to hit that bucket as a kid. ย Now that we live on a lake, I've retired the bucket. ย I still don't catch much, but I'm hooked.ย Our friends Wes and Wanda have a place up in Canada where they enjoy the summer season and lots of fishing.
A Brown Butter Almond Trout Recipe Lesson
It didn't take any pleading, whining, or begging to get Wanda over to my place to teach me her Brown Buttered Almond Trout recipe. ย Although, I was totally prepared to do it.ย
Just for the record, this is NOT Trout Almondine. ย Typically in a Trout Almandine recipe, the trout is lightly floured before sautรฉing and there is lemon involved. ย Emeril makes a lovelyย Trout Almondineย with Worcestershire Sauce, cream, and herbs. ย Nom nom nom...
However, Wanda's Brown Butter Almond Trout recipe is way easier and, I think, way better.ย Sorry, Emeril.ย This recipe lets a few fresh ingredients take center stage and really strut their stuff. ย Go ahead and try this recipe with any trout or firm white fish and let me know what you think. ย ๐
You can serve it as an appetizer with white toast or saltines... or a Ritzย
because I know you'll want to.
