Here's one from my files to check out: Almond-Crusted Fillet Of Sole
ALMOND-CRUSTED FILLET OF SOLE
INGREDIENTS:
4 to 6 sole fillets (6 ounces each)
2 cups finely ground almonds (not almond flour), or 1 cup finely ground and 1 cup roughly chopped sliced almonds
6 large egg yolks
Salt and ground black pepper
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
Garnish:
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Lemon wedges
Steamed potatoes, for serving, optional
*Green Chili Milk Sauce, for serving, optional *(see recipe below).
DIRECTIONS:
1. Cut fish lengthwise into 2-inch-wide strips, then into pieces about 6 inches long. Spread almonds on a plate. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat oven to 225 degrees.
2. Whisk egg yolks well and season with salt and pepper. One at a time, dip fish into egg yolks, then roll in almonds until well coated. Transfer to paper-lined pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Working in batches, and adding butter to pan between batches, cook fish until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to ovenproof platter and place in oven.
4. Just before serving, scrape out pan to remove burned bits. Add 2 tablespoons butter to pan, melt until foamy, and drizzle over fish. Garnish with lemon and parsley. Serve with potatoes and sauce, if using.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
