Panfried Grouper With Almonds Recipes

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.

GROUPER ALMONDINE

Steps:

• Mix together lemon juice, orange juice, cream of coconut, 1 tablespoon butter, honey, salt, pepper, and white wine in a sauce pan. Cook on low heat until mixture thickens.
• Pan fry grouper in 1/4 cup butter with a dash of salt on low heat for about 10 minutes. When finished, drizzle sauce on top and sprinkle with almond slices to garnish.

PANFRIED TROUT WITH ALMONDS AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Season fillets with 3/4 teaspoon salt, dividing evenly, and pepper. Gently place 2 fillets in skillet, skin side up. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until golden brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip fish, using two spatulas if necessary. Cook until slightly flaky in the center when pierced with a fork, about 2 minutes more. Transfer fish to a serving platter; keep in a warm spot. Wipe out skillet, and repeat with 1 teaspoon oil and remaining 2 fillets.
• Wipe out skillet again; add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the almonds. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until almonds start to turn golden, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and immediately add parsley and lemon zest; stir to combine. Stir in lemon juice; as soon as it starts to bubble, pour sauce over fish. Serve immediately.
