Germany Forelle mit Mandeln (Trout with Almonds)
Forelle mit mandeln, or trout with almonds, is a no-frills recipe that perfectly highlights the namesake ingredients. While trout is one of the most common and popular fish in Germany, this dish usually makes a bold statement on the dinner table as most Germans prepare it using the whole fish. Trout is also often the centerpiece of the meal during the Christian celebration of Gründonnerstag, or Mourning Thursday, before Easter.
