Steps:

• 1. In a large sauce pan place enough salted water for cooking the snow pea pods. Bring the water to boiling and add pea pods.

• 6. Gently turn fish and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more or until fish flakes easily with a fork or is golden brown.
• 7. Arrange peas on a serving platter and place fish on top of peas. (I arranged 4 serving plates instead of serving platter)and served roasted potatoes as a side dish.
• 8. In the same skillet reduce heat to medium and add butter.
• 9. When butter begins to melt, stir in almonds.
