"If you want to catch a trout, don't fish in a herring barrel." -Ann Landers
Trout Almondine was oh, so fancy when I was growing up. I have always had a soft spot for it and didn't realize that I hadn't posted the recipe on the Web site. Here it is. Still great. I really do prefer the garbanzo flour over the white flour. It's nice and light and doesn't have the dry flavor that white flour has, plus it brings a nice nuttiness to your dish.

Place the almonds in a small skillet over medium high heat.
