Creating Fish Almondine is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients in advance to streamline the cooking process.
2. Toast the Almonds: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds until golden brown. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Remove the almonds from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Heat the Pan: In the same skillet, add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Heat over medium-high until the butter melts and begins to foam.
4. Season the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
5. Cook the Fish: Place the fish fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
6. Add Garlic and Lemon Juice: In the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish and cook for an additional minute.
7. Add Remaining Butter: Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted.
8. Finish with Almonds and Parsley: Sprinkle the toasted almonds and chopped parsley over the fish fillets.
9. Serve Immediately: Transfer the fish to a serving platter and drizzle any remaining butter and juices from the skillet over the top.

By following these steps, you’ll create an incredible Fish Almondine that’s sure to impress!
