Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
• 1 cup (finely chopped or ground) Almonds
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large (beaten) Eggs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0 as needed Cooking spray
• 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the chopped almonds, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, pour the beaten eggs. In a third shallow dish, place the flour.

Step 4

Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly season them with a pinch of salt on both sides.

Step 5

Dredge one fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, and then press it into the almond mixture, coating all sides evenly. Repeat with the remaining fillets.

Step 6

Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle or brush the melted butter over the top of each fillet for added flavor and crispiness.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the almond crust is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve the almond baked halibut with lemon wedges on the side.
