FISH ALMONDINE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the panko and almonds. Drizzle in the melted butter and toss until well combined.
• Add the parsley and toss it in . . .
• Then stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Put the flour in a shallow dish and add a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Dredge both sides of the fish in the flour, shaking off any excess.
• Spread a generous tablespoon of mayonnaise over each piece of fish . . .
• And sprinkle the crumb mixture on top, pressing lightly to make sure it sticks.
• Bake until the crumbs are golden and the fish is flaky, 16 to 18 minutes. Squeeze the lemon juice on top and serve.

PARMESAN FISH STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a sheet pan with the olive oil.
• Cut the fish fillets into 2 1/2-inch-long and 1-inch-wide strips.
• Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
• Combine the breadcrumbs, parsley and butter with a fork in a separate shallow bowl. Add the Parmesan and stir to combine.
• Beat the eggs in a third bowl.
• Bread the fish by giving the strips a good coating of the seasoned flour. Tap off any excess. Dip in the beaten eggs until coated. Roll the egg-coated fish in the crumb mixture. If need be, press the breadcrumbs into the fish. Place on the oiled sheet pan.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then flip the fish sticks and continue cooking until the breading is deep golden and the fish is cooked through, about another 8 minutes.
• Serve with ketchup.

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.

BAKED FISH ALMONDINE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, almonds, salt and butter or margarine and mix well, (if it is necessary add additional butter, mixing well until crumb mixture begins to hold together.).
• Coat fish with flour, shaking off excess. Spread mayonnaise evenly over fillets and cover evenly with the crumbs mixture, lightly pressing into the fish fillets.
• Place them skin down in a baking pan large enough to hold in a single layer, (or use a baking pan with a low rack to hold fish above and the water under the rack.).
• Carefully pour water around the fish to about 1/8 inch depth and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes when tested with a fork.
• Note: Take special care when pouring the thinnest possible layer of water around the fish, so don't wash away or wet the topping. This step helps to ensure that the fish cooks up moist and tender.
