Ingredients

• 4 pieces fish fillets (such as tilapia, sole, or trout)
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cups sliced almonds
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

On a plate, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Lightly dredge each fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and slightly foamy.

Step 4

Add the fish fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt completely.

Step 6

Once the butter begins to brown slightly and develop a nutty aroma, add the sliced almonds. Toast the almonds for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, then remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 8

Spoon the almondine sauce over the cooked fish fillets.

Step 9

Serve immediately with a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing over the top.
