PAN-FRIED FISH ALMONDINE
This is a simple and versatile recipe. It lends well to any type of white fish, such as: perch, tilapia, whitefish, halibut, etc. It might even work well with salmon, but I haven't tried that yet. I love the crusty, delicious almond coating. If you can't find Panko breadcrumbs, you could try regular bread crumbs. I like to serve this alongside wild rice and a nice salad for a simple and pretty healthy meal.

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.
FISH ALMONDINE
From when I was expecting my first baby, Alex, to well past the birth of my second child, Paige, I used to meet my grandmother, Ga-Ga, at Luby's Cafeteria in my hometown for lunch on an almost monthly basis. Luby's had a mega-long (it seemed like a football field, but probably wasn't quite) serving line of prefilled small plates holding such comfort foods as Jell-O salad, macaroni and cheese, Salisbury steak, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and slices of pie as far as the eye could see. But for me, the single most memorable dish at Luby's was their gloriously consistent Fish Almondine. No matter which seventeen sides I selected (okay, sometimes it was eighteen), Fish Almondine was always the main course for me. This is my best attempt to re-create the Luby's magic. (I love and miss you, Ga-Ga.)

SOLE ALMONDINE
Steps:
- Set a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and set aside.
- Return the pan to medium heat (if you have 2 pans you can work simultaneously at this point, i.e. 2 fillets per pan) and add a 2-count of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to each pan.
- Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper, to taste. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge the fillets in the seasoned flour, then dip them into the egg mixture. Allow some of the excess egg to drain off, then add them to the hot pan. Cook 2 pieces at a time. Fry for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then carefully turn the fish over to cook the other side. With a spoon, baste the fillets with the butter sauce. Repeat basting to ensure the fish remains moist. Once the other side is cooked (about 30 seconds) carefully remove the fillets from the pan to a serving platter. Repeat with remaining 2 fillets and a 2-count of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the fillets have been removed the pan, add the chopped shallots and gently saute over low heat until translucent, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and finish with the lemon juice. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the parsley and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. To serve, spoon the sauce over the top of the fillets and sprinkle generously with the toasted almonds.
