By draingal

Yes, this recipe cam from Dad...Brenda Langton is a chef that he read about and suggested this recipe. Serve the fish with roasted potatoes and vegetables. Potato salad, sweet corn and sliced tomatoes are also a nice option.

Ingredients

• 1 cup sliced almonds - broken slightly
• rind of one lemon, finely grated
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• flour for rolling fillets
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 1/2 lb. fillets
• 2 tbsp. butter
• 2 tbsp. vegetable oil

Preparation

Step 1

Combine and mix the almonds, lemon rind, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Roll one fillet at a time in flour, then dip it in the beaten egg, and immediately press each side into the almond mixture, turning to coat both sides.
Heat the butter and the oil until hot in a large skillet. Reduce the heat, sautéing the fillets at medium heat until they're crispy and brown - approximately 4 minutes for each side.
