Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Orange roughy fillets
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the orange roughy fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the fillets to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove the cooked fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced almonds and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
Stir in the lemon juice and let it cook for 30 seconds to combine the flavors.
Spoon the almond mixture over the cooked orange roughy fillets.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
