PAN-FRIED FISH ALMONDINE

• In a small bowl, mix eggs and water together to make an egg wash.
• Place flour in a shallow pan.
• Place the almondine breading in another shallow pan.
• Dredge each fish fillet through the flour, dusting off any excess, dip in egg wash; place in breading, coating both sides of fish. If you aren't going to fry these right away, store them in the refrigerator at this point.
• Preheat saute pan using medium heat.
• Add the butter and melt, being careful not to burn.
• Place fish in hot butter and cook on each side until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side, which is an average time. Depending on how thick your fish is, you may need to either shorten or lengthen the time.
• Optional: Sprinkle chopped parsley on top of the fish before serving.
