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     main-dish

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds boneless, skinless grouper fillet, or substitute snapper or orange roughly
1/2 cup unpeeled slivered almonds
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 small bunch flat leaf parsley, coarse stems removed
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Rinse the fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Check the fish for bones and remove with tweezers, if necessary. In a food processor, combine the almonds, allspice, salt, pepper, cayenne, cumin, and paprika. Pulse until finely ground, but do not over process or the nuts can become oily. In a shallow baking dish, spread out the nut spice mixture. Dredge the fillets in the mixture, one at a time, shaking off the excess.
  • In a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Fry the fillets for about 3 minutes on each side, until light brown. With a slotted spatula, remove the fish to a warm platter or individual serving plates and scatter with the parsley sprigs. Serve with wedges of lemon.

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.

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.

BAKED FISH ALMONDINE

This delicious fish is another of our favorites when I make it. I found this recipe in a Luby's Cafeteria free recipe cards dispenser at the cash register counter.

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.

SOLE ALMONDINE

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups blanched slivered almonds
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
Freshly ground black pepper
4 eggs
1 cup milk
4 cleaned sole fillets (6 ounces each)
1 large or 3 small shallots, finely chopped
1 cup white wine
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 chopped flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.
