Instructions
Making Fish Almondine is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Toast the Almonds: In a large skillet, heat over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and toast, stirring frequently until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the almonds from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Fish: In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Allow the butter to melt and foam.
4. Sear the Fillets: Add the seasoned fish fillets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and flaky. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
5. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and lemon juice. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
6. Add the Almonds: Return the toasted almonds to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the buttery lemon sauce.
7. Plate the Dish: Place the fish fillets on serving plates. Spoon the almond and lemon sauce over the top.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for a pop of color.
