Place the trout fillets in a bag suitable for vacuum sealing. Seal the bag in a light setting for moist foods according to manufacturer’s directions. When the temperature reaches 120°F, place the bag in the water so that it is completely submerged, and allow to cook for 45 minutes. While the trout is cooking, prepare the pistachio red currant sauce.
For the red currant sauce: In a small sauté pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the shallots and sauté until tender, 1-2 minutes. Add the Grand Marnier and red currant jelly, and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside; cover pan to keep warm.
When the trout is cooked, remove it from the vacuum bag and place flesh-side-up on a plate. Scatter with pistachios and press them gently so they adhere.
Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the trout fillets with the pistachio-coated sides down. Cook only until the nuts are toasted, about 1 minute. Using a spatula, carefully turn the fillets and continue to cook until the fillets are heated through, 1-2 more minutes.
Place the fillets on plates for serving, and drizzle with pistachio red currant sauce. Serve hot.
