Keeping heat at medium-high, cook fish on 1 side about 3 minutes (more or less, depending on size of fillets), until deep brown and crispy. Turn fish and cook on second side, about 3 minutes. Turn fish only once.
• Remove fish to serving platter. Turn off heat. Into hot skillet, whisk in remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Add lemon juice. Pour in capers, liquid and all. Whisk. Pour thin sauce over fish fillets. serve at once.

PAN-FRIED FISH ALMONDINE

Steps:

• First make the almondine breading by placing Panko breadcrumbs, lemon zest, and sliced almonds into a food processor.
• Pulse until it reaches a fine consistency. *The breading adheres to the fish better this way.*.
• If applicable, debone the fish and remove the skin.
• Salt and pepper the fish, to taste.
• 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.
