ALMOND CRUSTED FISH RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Season the fish and spread a little butter over the flesh side of each. Put in a shallow, buttered, ovenproof dish and sprinkle with the flaked almonds, lightly pressing them on. Bake for 12-15 mins until the flesh flakes easily.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Gently fry the shallot with a small knob of butter in a small pan. Add the stock and saffron, bring to the boil, then boil until reduced by about two-thirds. Stir in the crème fraîche and bubble for a minute or so until slightly thickened. Pour a little sauce around each portion of fish. Lovely served with tiny, buttered new potatoes and green beans, or a fresh green salad.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450° F. Lightly coat a 9 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut fish into two serving-size pieces, if necessary. Measure thickness of fish.
• Place flour in a shallow dish or small bowl. In another shallow dish, whisk together egg white and milk. In a third shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, almonds, and thyme. Coat both sides of fillets with flour. Dip fillets in the egg mixture; dip in bread crumb mixture to coat.
• Place fish in prepared pan. Drizzle fish with oil. Bake until fish begins to flake when tested with a fork (allow 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish).
