Do you like my apple bag (the one that looks like a net)?   I have one of my viewers, James from Glendora, CA, to thank for this wonderful present. I don't leave home without it. I am a huge believer in reusable bags, but the ones you get at Whole Foods, Target, and other stores are a bit clunky to stuff into your purse to have on-hand at all times.  After James introduced me to these convenient sacks, I am never caught without a reusable bag whether we are on an impromptu trip to the farm or driving by a farm stand. There are 2 ways to get them:

1) Spend 20 hours a week making cooking videos for 3 years so that eventually one of your followers sends you a present.

2) Go to ecobags.com and buy yourself a bag.

For each omelette:
1/3 cup whole milk
2 tsp all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1.2 g salt (slightly heaping 1/4 tsp of Diamond Crystal Kosher salt)*
black pepper (pinch)
1-2 tsp chopped chives (optional)
1 Tbsp of unsalted butter (for cooking)
1 tps unsalted butter (for fininshing)
fillings of your choice (in the video, I am using broccoli, but my favorite is the mushroom puree from this post).

* for other salts (including Morton's Kosher) the volume will be very different.  Use the nutrition info on the side of the box to figure out what 1.2 g of your salt is in teaspoons or experiment and figure out how much you like to use.

Serves 2

2 trout fillets, about 4 oz each
1/2 cup sliced almonds (60g)
1 egg (this can coat a lot of fish, so if you are cooking a lot of trout, no need to increase the egg)
1 Tbsp oil for high heat (grapeseed, safflower, canola)
1 Tbsp butter (add a pinch of salt if using unsalted)
1 garlic clove
squirt of lemon or lime
2 tsp fresh minced herbs (chives, tarragon, dill, parsley, or cilantro)

Fish substitutes: halibut without skin, arctic char with skin, flounder, or sole.

Ideally, you want relatively thin fillets (2/3 inch thick at most).  If the fish is not cooked through by the time the nuts brown, turn down the heat to low and continue to cook until you can separate the flakes (a bit of translucency in the center is good).
