This recipe is for flounder, but any firm white fish will work well, think cod, halibut, tilapia...Salmon would also be good here. The recipe comes from chef Mourad Lahlou.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup almonds, chopped (roasted, salted)
1/2 cup golden raisin, chopped
1/4 cup small caper, drained
6 tablespoons almond oil or 6 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 lb cremini mushroom
6 green onions, cut into 2-inch lengths
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
32 ounces flounder fillets

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine almonds, raisins, capers, almond oil, and lemon juice; set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium high heat; add mushrooms and cook until browned, but tender, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add green onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook until lightly browned, 3 minutes (keep warm).
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle fish lightly with salt and let stand 5 minutes; rinse off salt and pat fish dry with paper towels.
  • Heat 2 more tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet, over high heat, and cook fish (in batches if necessary, adding more oil as needed), until browned on the bottom; turn fish and cook until opaque, about 2 minutes longer.
  • Serve the fish topped with the caper-almond dressing and the mushrooms and green onions along side.
