Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or flounder)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cups sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the flour on a shallow plate or dish. Lightly dredge each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Add the fish fillets in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding) and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to keep warm.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, stir in the sliced almonds and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the almonds are lightly golden and fragrant.
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, cooking for an additional 30 seconds to bring the flavors together.
Spoon the almond butter sauce over the fish fillets and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
