Instructions

7 steps
  1. 1

    Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

    Peel and dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces; transfer to a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches.

    Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Reserve ½ cup sweet potato cooking liquid, then drain and return sweet potatoes to pot. Keep covered off heat until ready to mash.

  2. 2

    While sweet potatoes cook, trim and finely chop scallion greens (save whites for another use). Trim green beans if necessary.

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest in the next step), and ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper. Transfer 2 TBSP sauce (4 TBSP for 4) to a separate small bowl; reserve for serving.

  3. 3

    Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add panko and toast, stirring, until golden and fragrant, 2-3 minutes.

    Turn off heat; transfer to a shallow dish and stir in Parmesan, half the scallion greens, remaining garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Wipe out pan.

  4. 4

    Pat trout* dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle skin sides with oil; rub to coat.

    Place trout, skin sides down, on a baking sheet. (TIP: Line with aluminum foil first for easy cleanup.) Evenly spread tops with 1 tsp sauce each; mound with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.

    Roast on top rack until trout is cooked through and cheese melts, 10-12 minutes.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for panko over medium-high heat. Add green beans; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 5-7 minutes.

    Remove from heat; stir in almonds and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Continue to stir until butter is melted and almonds are golden, 30-60 seconds. (TIP: Return pan to low heat if needed to melt butter.) Cover to keep warm.

  6. 6

    While green beans cook, to bowl with reserved sauce, add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

    To pot with sweet potatoes, add sour cream, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Mash until smooth, adding splashes of reserved sweet potato cooking liquid as needed.

    Stir in remaining scallion greens; taste and season with salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    Divide trout, mashed sweet potatoes, and green beans between plates. Top trout with reserved sauce and serve.

    Trout is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
