Comments
Tilapia is a wonderful, mild tasting fish that goes well with almonds. This dish was created by Mike Cortese, Executive Chef Instructor at Liaison College.
You will need a shallow bowl, a heavy skillet, a wide spatula and tongs, plus a sharp knife.
Makes 4 servings.
| Step 1 | Chop 1/2 cup of almonds until fine and combine with flour in a shallow bowl. |
Save time: buy ground almonds. |
| Step 2 | Sprinkle fish fillets with salt and roll in almond mixture. |
|
| Step 3 | Melt butter and olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. |
Use tongs, instead of a spatula, to avoid splattering the oil. |
| Step 4 | Add fillets and fry 4 minutes on each side or until golden. Remove fillets to serving plate. | |
| Step 5 | Add remaining 1/2 cup of almonds to skillet and cook, stirring often, for about 1 minute or until golden brown. | |
| Step 6 | Removed with a slotted spoon and sprinkle over fish. | |
| Step 7 | Add lemon and parsley and serve. |
