FISH ALMONDINE



Fish Almondine image

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.)

Categories     Halibut

Time 45m

Yield 2 fish fillets, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup dry breadcrumbs, coarsely ground
1/4 cup almonds, toasted and sliced
3 tablespoons light butter, melted (or use margarine)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 (6 -8 ounce) cod fish fillets (or use Flounder, Haddock, or any other fish fillets)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup mayonnaise, light

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, almonds, salt and butter or margarine and mix well, (if it is necessary add additional butter, mixing well until crumb mixture begins to hold together.).
  • Coat fish with flour, shaking off excess. Spread mayonnaise evenly over fillets and cover evenly with the crumbs mixture, lightly pressing into the fish fillets.
  • Place them skin down in a baking pan large enough to hold in a single layer, (or use a baking pan with a low rack to hold fish above and the water under the rack.).
  • Carefully pour water around the fish to about 1/8 inch depth and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes when tested with a fork.
  • Note: Take special care when pouring the thinnest possible layer of water around the fish, so don't wash away or wet the topping. This step helps to ensure that the fish cooks up moist and tender.

PAN-FRIED FISH ALMONDINE



Pan-Fried Fish Almondine image

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.

Categories     European

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 lemon, zest of, finely grated
1/2 cup almonds, sliced
4 (8 ounce) fish fillets
salt and pepper, to taste
2 large eggs
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)

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.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a flaky white fish such as tilapia, cod, or halibut.
  • To make sure the fish is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor.
  • To add more flavor to the fish, you can add a tablespoon of lemon juice or white wine to the butter sauce.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Luby's Baked Fish Almondine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The fish is cooked to perfection and the almond crust is crispy and flavorful. The butter sauce is rich and creamy, and it pairs perfectly with the fish. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
