Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sole fillets
- 0.75 cups almonds
- 0.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 for serving lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the almonds until finely chopped but not powdered. Transfer them to a shallow dish.
Add panko breadcrumbs and lemon zest to the almonds. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, mixing well to combine.
Place the flour in another shallow dish.
In a third shallow dish, beat the egg lightly until frothy.
Pat the sole fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the coating adheres well.
Dredge each fillet first in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally press into the almond mixture, ensuring the fillets are well-coated on all sides.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, carefully add the coated fillets to the pan.
Cook the fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and just cooked through.
Transfer the fillets onto the prepared baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
Serve the almond crusted sole warm, garnished with lemon wedges.
