Put the butter, almonds and celery seeds into a shallow dish and cook, uncovered, on HIGH for 4-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the almonds begin to brown. Set aside.

Divide about half the chopped lovage between the four trout, place inside each fish and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the fish head to tail in a shallow dish and cook on HIGH for 6-8 minutes until the fish is cooked, repositioning halfway through cooking. Set aside and keep warm.

Mix the cornflour/cornstarch with a little of the yogurt in a small bowl and then add the remaining yogurt. Cook on HIGH for 2-4 minutes, whisking frequently until thickened. Stir in remaining lovage. Serve the trout with the sauce and garnish with the browned almonds.
