Description
A delightful Almond Crusted Fish Piccata that combines crispy almonds and zesty piccata sauce, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- Fresh fish fillets (tilapia or sole)
- Sliced almonds
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons capers
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Prepare the fish: Rinse the fish fillets and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Make the almond coating: In a shallow dish, whisk the egg. In another dish, spread out the sliced almonds. Dip each fish fillet into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then gently press into the almonds to coat completely.
- Sauté the fish: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add a touch of olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the coated fish fillets, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Make the piccata sauce: After removing the fish, add lemon juice and capers to the skillet, scraping up browned bits. Let it bubble to intensify flavors.
- Serve: Plate the fish, drizzle with piccata sauce, and finish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Ensure fish fillets are dry for better almond adherence. Adjust cooking times for fish thickness.
