Mix flour, salt and pepper.
Coat fish in flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
In a large nonstick skillet, melt 1 1/2 tsp butter in 1 tsp of the oil.
Cook the filets in batches over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden crisp; turning once.
Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Repeat for each batch adding additional oil and butter as needed.
Add remining 1 Tbsp butter and the almonds to skillet.

(I like a lot of flavor and would double sauce if serving 4.).
